When I taught 4th grade, we wrote a descriptive paper on what it would feel like to live in a snow globe. We ended up making snow globes in a jar and snow globes on paper to accompany our writing. I loved the project so much that I knew I wanted to scale it down and do it with my kindergartners. We read the story Snow Globe Family by Jane O' Connor, then made a list of the things we would do if we lived in a snow globe.
They wrote their lists on these templates to create the base of the snow globes.
Then we used fun "snow paint" (half Elmer's glue and half shaving cream), glitter, and snowflakes to decorate our snow globes. After they were done, I taped on a clear plastic plate and we had the top of their snow globes. They turned out really cute!
