Snow globe flop

Today I had the girls help me pick two pictures for our snow globe this morning. Got pictures printed scrapped glue off of the containers, filled them with red plastic pellets and glitter. We then hot glued the pictures to the containers lid and left them to dry. We went on to do our letter S writing and recognition activity on the chalk board and dry erase board. Both A's decided to drawn pictures of their family and J was added to the family drawing but no Aunt Brooke! Older A's people were made up of tons of tiny dots which made the person ( creative). They took a short nap in hopes of finishing our globes. We added the water and closed the lids and they looked pretty good for a kids craft I will say. After hot glue being added to the outside and left drying for a hour or so we returned to puddles of water on the counter and almost empty snow globes. Very sad to see they didn't turn out but I am determined to figure out a solution for next year!

So we resorted to cutting  coffee filters into snow flakes and coloring them. We always love having a back up craft.
