Instructions

Brighten up your winter with this colorful snowglobe craft. Chalk pastels on black paper help make these snow globes extra vivid. Kids will love creating their own winter wonderland scene and exploring chalk pastels! Free printable template included.

1. First, print and cut out your snow globe template. Use your template to cut out the top in black pastel paper or cardstock and the bottom out of colorful cardstock.

2. If your kids have not used pastels before, have them practice with them on some scrap paper. They can try making simple lines, blending two colors together with their fingers, and using the long edge of the pastel to create texture.

3. Once kids are familiar with drawing with pastels, they can go ahead and create their snow globe art. Have them start with the snow.

We wanted our snow globes extra fun and colorful so we made the snow with bright blues, pinks, and purples. Kids can try blending the snow colors together with their fingers to create some interesting textures.

Next, they can move on to their snowman, using any color they like. I love the bright pink one! Have your kids dress their snowman in a hat, scarf, mittens, or whatever accessory they choose.

Finally, kids can add in a tree and some colorful snowflakes to finish off designing their snow globe.

4. Now would be a good time for kids to write their name, the year or any message they would like on the bottom of the snow globe with a sharpie. I wish we would have done this before I used contact paper on ours. I would have loved to have my daughter write her name and the year on hers!

5. This next step can be a bit tricky, so is best done by an adult. Place the colorful bottom of the snowglobe on top of the black circle just slightly.  Using clear contact paper cover the entire snow globe, pressing down firmly.

This helps to keep the chalk pastels from smudging so you can enjoy this snow globe craft for years to come. Cut around the edges, leaving about 1/8-1/4 of an inch of contact paper around the whole craft.
