You'll need:

• paper plates
• blue construction paper
• another color construction paper
• drawing paper
• plastic wrap
• white crayons
• tape
• glue

Cut out the flat inner portion of the paper plate and use it to trace a circle on the drawing paper. Draw a snow globe design inside the circle of drawing paper.

Use the white crayon to color snowflakes all over the blue paper.

Cut out your snow globe design elements and glue them on top of your snowy blue background.

Tape a sheet of plastic wrap to cover the whole in your paper plate frame from the inside.

Flip the frame over and glue it to your blue construction paper.

Trim away any blue paper that extends beyond the plate frame.

Once the glue dries, show off your finished snow globe!
