Yield: 1 snow globe
Equipment
- Scissors
- printer
Materials
- 1 printed two-page snow globe template packet
- White cardstock
- 1 clear plastic dessert plate approximately 7 inches in diameter
- 1 printed child photograph cut around the body (tested sample approximately 5 inches tall by 1 inch wide)
- Strong tacky glue such as Beacon 3-in-1

Instructions
- Print the snow globe template onto white cardstock at actual size (100%). Cut out the blue circle and black base.
- Photograph your child in winter clothing. Print and cut around the child's body, adjusting the size as needed to fit the globe.
- Decorate the snowy background with drawn or glued snowflakes and optional printable trees or snowman.
- Glue the child's photograph onto the background so they appear to be standing in the snow.
- Add a small amount of loose glitter or artificial snow, if desired.
- Apply a continuous bead of strong glue around the rim of the clear plastic plate. Position it over the printed background and press into place.
- Allow the glue to dry completely. If using school glue, leave it undisturbed for at least 24 hours.
- Glue the black base behind the bottom of the globe. Add a name, date, or winter saying if desired.
Notes
- Be sure the plate's rim is completely sealed before shaking.
- Plate shapes vary, so check the fit of the printable before gluing.
- Adult supervision is needed for scissors, glue, and loose craft materials.
- The optional decorations can be used instead of a child's photograph.
