But, a funny thing happened...
Several major snow storms hit the Northwest and my order of snowdomes never arrived! How ironic.
So, I reverted to what I've used in years past - Locktite storage Jars purchased from JoAnnes for about $2.50 each.
Of course the kids enjoyed the project just as much as years before.
We used EZ mold clay from Sculpey. It never hardens and is not affected by water.
The clay is tacky and stays stuck to itself and the inside of the lid.
I demonstrated how to make a simple snowman, hat and scarf.
We combined red and yellow clay for the carrot nose.
Beads were used for the eyes. Twigs for arms.
This scene has a "Snow Wall" in preparation for a few snowball fights. Too funny.
The kids got into it...even adding snowballs to the trees.
Plastic trees from JoAnnes help complete the scene. Simply press them into the clay.
Tap water can be used, but distilled water works best. Less air bubbles tend to form.
Glitter or plastic snow can be used. We also added a drop of liquid dish soap as a surfactant. It too helps prevent air bubbles from forming.
