There are so many different ways to make snow globes with preschoolers. Over the years we have made a number of them and we would like to share with you a few of ways to make this delightful craft. Snow globes range from super easy to some that take a bit of prep time. All are well worth the effort when you see the children's faces when they're finished!

Materials Needed for Your Snow Globes:

• Baby food jars
• Distilled Water
• Corn Syrup or 3 drops of glycerin
• Plastic Cake or Cupcake toppers (Purchase at party store)
• Glitter (iridescent or white)
• Silicone Rubber Sealant 
• Sand Paper

Adult Prep: Lightly sand the inside of the lid and put a generous amount of rubber sealant over it to hold the figurine in place. Check on the sealant label for proper drying times.
Let the children spoon water in the jars and add a pinch of glitter. You can then have them add a few drops of glycerin with an eyedropper or a splash of corn syrup (This slows the glitter as it falls).
Adults Only: Add a bit more sealant around the lid and screw it on. Give it a day or so to dry.
Now you have snow globes that are sealed and beautiful!
