DIY Snow Globe Sensory Jar
There’s something so soothing about shaking up a snow globe and watching the snow swirl and settle. It’s very calming for little kids, too! Create your own snow globe with your child this season with these instructions.
To create your own snow globe, you’ll need:
First, you’ll need to hot glue your mason jar’s lid components together. This will prevent leak. Next, hot glue the figurine to the inside of the lid so that it will be facing upside down when you place the lid on the jar. After that, fill the jar approximately 30% full with the clear glue and then add glitter or confetti and fill the rest of the way with hot water, leaving a bit of room at the top, and stir.
Quickly pipe a thick ring of hot glue around the inside of the lid and screw the lid on as tight as you can.
Let dry, and shake!
If you’re not crazy about giving your little one glass, you can purchase empty plastic snow globes at craft stores!
