Snow Globes

This project is great for ages kindergarten through age 8.

What You Need:
Small jar, with lid (baby food jars work great!)
Glitter, silver or white
Glycerin (mineral oil or baby oil work as well)
Plastic toys (optional)
Seashells (optional)
Super glue or silicone

What You Do:

You need a clean, dry jar. Pour some glitter--just enough to give a sparkle effect--into the bottom of the jar. Glue the toy or seashell to the lid with waterproof glue. (Super glue works fine. Adults need to assist with this.) Let this dry thoroughly. Fill with water to the top and pour the glycerin in. Place the lid over the top, very tightly. Then shake the jar. The glitter will appear as snow in a real snow globe. When dry, turn the jar upside down and give it a shake. You can seal the jar lid with the Super glue.
