Two Snow Globe Kids Crafts

 

Need a fun winter craft for two, three or four year-olds? 

Drying on a shelf outside of my pre-school classroom were these colorful tissue paper and white paint snow globes. They’d been made by older kids in the pre-school after-school program. I wanted to do something similar with my young two year-old’s, but they don’t know how to use scissors and aren’t ready for projects with several steps. I eliminated their need to use scissors and broke up the project into two days. It was a hit!

Here are instructions for both snow globes.

Happy creating, hon!
