When I was a little girl, I fell in love with snow globes after my dad brought home one from an international trip.
The beautiful cherry wood base held a snow white castle surrounded by a delicate glass globe filled with water and “snow”. It started my love for snow globes – no matter what time of year.
Now, two of my three children look forward to collecting new ones each year and have their own small collections.
There’s just something magical about a snow globe, especially around the Christmas holidays.
Maybe that’s why this inexpensive snow globe craft was such a draw.
It’s easy to make and, even more importantly, it’s made from supplies found at the dollar store.
That means we can make a whole village of snow globes for only a few dollars!
Since a hot glue gun is needed, be sure to supervise your kids if they’ll be helping you.
Have a great time and let us know how your snow globe craft turns out!
