Supplies
- Snow Globe Template – Download your free copy at the bottom of this blog post
- White Cardstock – We recommend Neenah white cardstock for a sturdy, high-quality finish
- Coloring Tools – Markers, crayons, or colored pencils all work great
- Child’s Photo – A full-body photo printed to fit inside the snow globe
- Scissors & Glue Stick – For cutting and assembling the craft
- Black Marker – To outline and add bold details
- Paint Pen (Optional) – Perfect for adding snowflakes or sparkly finishing touches
Instructions
Step 1: Print the snow globe template on high-quality white cardstock. We recommend using Neenah white cardstock for the best results—it’s sturdy and gives the craft a polished look.
Step 2: Color in the snow globe scene using your favorite coloring tools. Kids can get creative by adding Christmas trees, snowmen, snow-covered hills, or anything that brings their winter wonderland to life!
Step 3: Trim the child’s photo so it fits neatly inside the globe. Use a small amount of glue to attach the photo, positioning it so it looks like the child is standing inside the snowy scene.
Step 4: Color in one letter bubble for each letter of the child’s name. Then, using a black marker or Sharpie, write each letter in bold block style.
Step 5: Carefully cut out each letter circle and glue them onto the base of the snow globe to personalize it.
Step 6: For a magical finishing touch, use a white or silver acrylic paint pen to add snowflakes, sparkles, or icy details to your scene!
