Ingredients
Materials
- 1 cup Clear plastic cup Alternatively, use a glass cup, ensuring it's safe for children.
- 1 container White glitter (or fake snow) Use non-toxic glitter appropriate for children.
- 1 figure Miniature snowman figure (or DIY snowman from cotton balls) If making DIY, glue cotton balls in layers.
- 2 tbsp Blue and white paint For the winter theme.
- optional Small Frozen-themed accessories (like Elsa figurines) For decorating the snowman.
- 1 gun Hot glue gun and glue sticks For securing the components.
- 1 pair Scissors For cutting materials as needed.
- 1 cup Water If making a snow globe, fill the cup with water.
Instructions
Preparation
- Clean the cup: Rinse and dry the clear plastic cup thoroughly.
- Base coat: Paint the outside of the cup with a thin layer of blue paint. Let it dry completely (about 1-2 hours).
Create the Snowman
- Assemble materials: If using cotton balls, glue them in layers to form a snowman shape. Alternatively, take a pre-made miniature snowman.
- Accessorize: Dress up your snowman with small items like mini hats, scarves, or Frozen-themed accessories.
Make the Snow Globe
- Add glitter or snow: Fill the bottom of the cup with white glitter or fake snow to create the snowy effect.
- Fill with water: If you want a classic snow globe effect, carefully pour water into the cup until just below the rim.
- Seal the cup: Place the snowman inside, making sure it’s stable. Use the hot glue to seal the rim. Allow the glue to set for about 30 minutes.
Notes
Customize the Snowman: Use felt pieces for scarves and hats in different colors. Swap materials: Use other types of confetti instead of glitter for a different look. Winter scene: Add small trees or other winter-themed figures for an enhanced display.
