My son has not been well for a few months and I thought making snow globes would be a fun diversion instead of keeping company with the computer.
I looked up a few ideas of how to make them. Some instructions say to use mineral water, some Karo syrup (gross), some suggest glitter, while others use crushed egg shells. I think the egg shells will probably float to the bottom more slowly than glitter. The shells would have to be finely crushed or I don't think it will look good. We'll just have to experiment.

Interesting. Please let us know what you try and how it works out.

This website shows how you can can turn making a snow globe into a science experiment (and doesn't use glitter or egg shells).
