Snow globes

What we used:

baby food jar
glitter
plastic figures
glue gun (not pictured)
water (not pictured)
ribbon (optional, not pictured)

What we did:
Glue the figures onto the inside lid of the baby food jar (or any other jar). After it dries, fill the jar with water (leave about 1/4-1/2 inch of air). Pour about 1/8 ts of glitter(or more depending on the size of your jar) in the water. Put the lid on the jar and close very tightly. You can use ribbon to decorate the bottom if you wish. Or you could paint it also. Enjoy!

The finished product! The picture does not give them justice. They looked really pretty.

Nate even used the glue gun on this one. We just used random plastic figures we found around the house. But you could buy something and plan better than we did =) Nothing too wide, depending on the size of the jar. We used distilled water. Not sure you have to, I was just worried if we didn't that things would end up growing inside it. You can also use a few drops of dye and color the water, that would be pretty. This was really neat and we will definitely do it again!
