Kids Can Make Fun SnowGlobes with This Fun Family Craft Activity for Christmas

Snowglobes ... who doesn't love them ... they are mesmerizing and fun to play with, even for adults. So imagine the fun kids will have making and playing with these cute little snowglobes.

Ours are only made from plastic jars or bottles, including small mayonnaise jars and a new little round Coca Cola bottle that coke just introduced this holiday season. We're actually very excited about this particular little bottle and we are hoping the Coca Cola people keep these going all year. Really ... I have been keeping my eyes open for something like this for a SnowGlobe project for ages and I can think of other fun uses for during the year.

To make the snowglobes, the main thing is finding an appropriate little figure or ornament that will fit into your jar or bottle. The mayonnaise jars are easy to find items, but the little round coke bottles are more difficult. I suggest looking in craft stores and anywhere you might find mini-ornaments.

Also, let me clue you in ... some other sites will suggest that you use mineral oil or baby oil to fill your globe. Don't bother even trying this or wasting your money. My first attempt was with mineral oil and it wasn't pretty! Not only do you have to find this items in the store, but it was so sloudy looking and the glitter seemed to stay suspended in the oil. Water, which is free, worked really well and you get a very pretty snow swirling around.
