Solar System Snow Globe

Let's take a trip to outer space! Create your own Solar System Snow Globe for Space Week. Watch as the stars float around the Earth, just as they would in the Solar System!
  • Step 5Attach the lid tightly to your jar. Tip your jar upside down and watch the stars and glitter float around your planet Earth!
  • Step 1Using blue CleverClay™, mould a sphere and smooth out the top surface of the clay.
  • Step 2Press pieces of green CleverClay into your blue globe. These will be the continents.
  • Step 3Using a glue gun, glue a piece of craft line to the top of your globe. Allow to dry. Next use sticky tape to attach the other end of the craft line to the lid of the jar. Ensure the craft line is just long enough to so that your globe will hang in the middle of your jar.
  • Adult supervision is recommended when using a glue gun.
  • Step 4Fill your jar with water. You may like to add a small drop of liquid watercolour. Swirl it around gently so that the watercolour mixes evenly, turning the water light blue. Add glitter and sequin stars to the water.
