Paper Plate Snowglobe

I saw the idea to make your own snowglobe here and we decided to give it a try.  I think it turned out cute, but there is a lot of "Mommy help" work involved.  Older kids could do most of it on their own, but my 2 year old needed some help. 
The supplies you need are:
two paper plates (one with the middle cut out)
glue
sequins or pom pom balls
an extra ziploc bag
small circles for your snowman
stapler
 Let your little one color the part that will face out. 
 We used sequins for the snowman's eyes and then I drew the nose and mouth.

 Then glue the circles on the plate into the shape of snowman.
 Then we added sequins for the scarf.
 Cut your extra ziploc into a circle and use clear tape to tape it to the back side of the plate.  Make sure it is really secure so none of your "snow" can sneak out.
 I put a thin line of glue on the border of the plates and then stuck them together and stapled around the edges.  Leave a small opening at the top so you can put in your silver sequins that will wiggle around when you shake it like snow.  Olive has been carrying it around shaking it like crazy!
