You will need:
Waxed paper
Small glass or plastic jars (baby food jars or jelly jars work well)
Water
Have the children tear tiny pieces of waxed paper and place them in small jars. Help them fill the jars with water and secure the lids. Let them shake their snow jars and watch the "snowflakes" dance around.
To make into snow scene jars, put clay in each jar lid and attach two small Styrofoam balls (held together with a toothpick). When the lids are screwed on and the jars are turned upside down, the snowflakes dance around the snowmen.
After cleaning the baby food jar and removing the paper from the outside, glue a small ornament, or toy on the inside of the cap with epoxy. (Hot glue works but may not hold more than a few days in the water.) Then fill the jar with a light colored oil, like mineral oil. Add a few pinches of glitter and put the lid on. Secure the lid tightly with plumbing tape or electrical tape so it will not leak. Turn it upside down with the lid on the bottom and you have a snow globe to enjoy!
