Snow Globes

First grade loved making these "snow globes" during the winter months. I gave each a circle template and blue paper, as well as a black strip of paper. After tracing and cutting out the circle, they used construction paper crayons to draw a snowy scene. They also added patterns or pictures to the black strip. After the snow scene was complete they added dots of glue and sprinkled silver glitter over it to make sparkly snow flakes. The black strip was made into a tube and taped in the back. I cut slits in the tube and they gently slid the blue circle into the slits, creating the base and globe.
