Experiment 1

its a simple nice snowglobe, which kids can make and enjoy. My little one helped me with this & enjoyed alot.

Material & Instructions

1. Two empty baby food containers

2. Two toys, small enough to fit in the jars.

3. Water

4. Glycerine

5. Glitter

Selected these two toys from my son's toy box. 

Make sure to select something which can fit easily in the jars leaving enough space on the top.

 Then attached these toys to bottle lid, using hot glue gun.

 Attached both toys with lid.

Added water, little bit of glycerine and silver gliter in baby food container.

Once the liquid was ready and toys were glued to lids.Glued the sides of the lid and screwed as tigh as I could. 

ta da readyyyyyyyyyyyyy :)

 it is simple & easy. dont take more then 20 minutes.

Experiment 2

Ok so now comes the sad story.... snowglobes with toys, is a common craft and I wanted to try something new, so I tried customized picture snowglobe.... it took alot of time as I dont know much about computers and for this, i needed a picture measuring 16cm by 4cm.

 

After printing, I wanted to laminate these pictures but it was not available so I tried sealing them well with contact paper & later ironed them...

 then after attaching both ends of the sealed picture by contact paper, inserted them in baby food containers... It was looking awesome... :(

This is what I saw next morning :( pictures were wet inside contact paper :( as water broke seal and entered inside the contact paper...



Its not looking as good in the pictures as it was actually looking, when I finished it... will try again by laminating the pictures. hopefully that will work :)

Have a great day
