The do-it-yourself trend has finally come to snow globes! In the new kit from Creativity for Kids, families can create three of their own snow globe scenes using clay and adorable, tiny resin figurines: Santa, a snowman, and a reindeer. The kit includes three plastic snow globes, clay, clay-sculpting tools, the figurines, a funnel, and glitter! (Parents supply the distilled water.)
The kit also includes wonderfully detailed instructions to encourage success (such as illustrated ideas for those stymied about what to do when presented with a lump of clay), and how to prevent water-related mishaps. These globes also look sweet without water.
The kit makes a great gift for children ages 6 and older, and when the three handcrafted snow globes are complete, they’ll make three precious gifts for a few special recipients. This engrossing activity that will keep hands and minds occupied while they wait with breathless anticipation for a visit from Saint Nicholas!
