Mini Christmas World
With a transparent plastic ball, white modeling dough like snow, and adorable cardboard silhouettes, children will create their own miniature Christmas world. A magical activity to capture the spirit of the holiday season in a beautiful decorative piece.
Prepare the base, arrange the snow using modeling dough, then insert the decorations! Santa Claus, a snowman, a Christmas tree, a little house, a reindeer... The child composes their own scene before closing the ball.
Why do we love this activity?
- The child becomes a stage director, choosing and placing their characters to tell a lovely Christmas story.
- Kneading the dough to create the snowy ground is a sensory experience that children love.
- Far more than just a craft, it's a true decorative item that will be treasured for future Christmases.

Step 1
Turn the terracotta dish upside down and paint it with gold paint to create an elegant base for the snow globe.

Let the glue dry for about 30 minutes.
