Glitter Globes

Posted 2013-08-14 by Jane Street ⇒ follow


Making your own glitter snow globes is loads of fun and easy to do. Preschoolers will be fascinated with their finished creation.

Time: 10 minutes
Age: Any Age
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Empty watertight glass jar - tall ones with minimal decoration on the glass work best
  • Plastic figurine - tall ones look best
  • Cooled boiled water
  • Glycerine
  • Glitter
  • Super glue



    • Method
  • Glue a plastic figurine (or anything waterproof) onto a jam jar lid using super glue. Make sure an adult does the super gluing step.



  • Add about a teaspoon of glitter in the jar



  • Add 2 teaspoons of glycerine to a cup of cooled boiled water. The glycerine thickens the water and makes the glitter float slowly.

    • The glycerine thickens the water


  • Add the glycerine and water mix to the jar, filling it up to the top.
  • Screw the lid with the figurine onto the jar.



  • Shake and enjoy watching your snowstorm glitter globe.

  • We tried a very small jar and a larger one. The tall jar worked much better as the glitter took much longer to float down after shaking.

    • The small jar worked fine but wasnt as impressive as the taller jar as there wasnt as much room for the glitter to swirl around
