Snow Globes

This is one of my favorite winter crafts and writing pieces.  To start our lesson, I read a book about snowmen and we made a list of what a snowman “has.”  I put some examples of sentences on the board and then each child wrote their own sentence.


I pre-traced the snow globe and stand so the project was ready to go for the students.

Next, I guided the students on how to make a snowman and how to add winter detail (since it is 80 degrees right now in CA)… 🙂
Once they finished their picture, they cut out all of the pieces and glued the snow globe to the stand.

We added little fakes of snow onto different spots of our snow scene.  I placed the glue on the drawing, and the students helped sprinkle snow on top of the glue.

After giving it a little shake, we have our winter snow globe!

I post the California Standards and learning objective on my bulletin boards.  This is what is posted on this board:
