Pre-Teen: Snow Globes

On December 9, 2009 pre-teens made snow globes. I think they turned out pretty cute.

What you need: baby food jars (empty and washed out), little figurines, water, and white snow glitter, glue, and ribbon.

Glue the figurine to the bottom of the jar. Once dry add the water and snow glitter. Put the lid on the jar and secure tightly. Add a colored ribbon around the lid for decoration.
