Here are some of the cute snow globes my students made yesterday!
Materials Needed:
-White card stock paper for each student
-1/2 sheet of black construction paper for each student
-Silver and/or white glitter
-Watercolors (you'll only use the blue)
-White tempura paint
-Cups of water for each group
-Cups/plates for white paint for each group.
Step 1: Using white cardstock, have students use the circle pattern to trace a circle.
Step 2: Have students draw a cute Christmas/Winter picture inside their circle. Color with crayon. (Tip: If students want something to be white, they must use a white crayon.)
Step 3: Mix the blue water color paint and water to create a wash. Color the entire circle with the blue wash. Let dry. Cut out circle.
Step 3: Use the white tempura paint to create dots over the entire picture.
Step 4: Cover in silver and/or white glitter.
Step 5: Cut out the snow globe base from black construction paper using the template. Let dry.
Step 6: Add a Christmas message to the base using white crayon or a scrap of white paper. Glue base to circle.
TADA! A beautiful and fun Christmas art project!

I do a winter story every year after we get back from the break. The story has to take place outside. We also make snow globes, but I do if a little differently... I have my students draw their picture on light blue paper. Then, I have them cut out the circle (using a paper plate as a template before they draw). Then, I (or a parent helper) place a piece of saran wrap on the table. Next, I sprinkle punch-outs from the whole puncher (they are the snowballs). Last, I put the drawing face down on the saran wrap over the punch-outs and then tape the back. The kids love it! :)
I love this! I am posting this! :D
I am going to be doing this activity in my class the week we return from Christmas break. I will combing it with a writing activity. Can't wait to see how they turn out! I will post pics on my blog.
Thanks for checking out my Teacher Blog!

@Carol,
Yes, we know that she has done these snow globes! Natalie's parent volunteer did not get the idea from Deanna, but did you notice the link at the bottom of the post that links to Deann's post?
Thanks!
