Improving Fine Motor Skills

We all know that crafting is super fun, but it’s also great for improving fine motor skills. As your little cut-out shapes, glue, and draw, not only will they get to express their creativity, but they will also get some fine motor practice.

Here’s What You Need

Watch the Snow Globe Craft Video for step-by-step instructions on how to make this Winter kids craft.

Step 1: Download and Print the Free Snow Globe Template

Download the Free Snow Globe Printable. In the next step, learn how to quickly cut out as many shapes as you need.

Step 2: Staple and Cut Out the Craft Shapes

Once you have the snow globe templates printed out, staple them to construction paper and cut out multiple shapes at a time.

Note: If you want to make this craft with a group of kids, you can staple the template to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 5-8 sheets of construction paper.

So, did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting.

Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.

Step 3: How to Assemble the DIY Snow Globe

The kids will have so much fun making their snow globes.

I recommend having a snow globe that is already put together so the children can see what the final version will look like.

1. Glue the smaller end of the brown base behind the big blue circle
2. Glue on the two trees.
3. If you are making the Christmas trees, glue on the stars and decorations
4. Pull apart a few cotton balls and glue them to base of the trees for snow
5. For the snow flakes: dip your fingertip into white paint and dab on snowflakes around the trees OR use the whiteout brush/pen to stamp snowflakes around the trees
6. don’t forget to write your name on the back

Step 1: Glue the smaller end of the brown base behind the big blue circle

Step 2: Glue the trees onto your globe.

Step 3: If you are making the Christmas trees, glue on the stars and decorations

Step 4: Pull apart a few cotton balls and glue them to base of the trees for snow

Step 5: For the snow flakes: dip your fingertip into white paint and dab on snowflakes around the trees OR use the whiteout brush/pen to stamp snowflakes around the trees

And you’re finished

This is such a fun and easy Pre-K Christmas craft. This paper Snow globe is easy enough for preschool, elementary, and classroom holiday parties.

Use these globes on your bulletin board, as holiday decor, in your classroom, and all through the season. This craft is super easy for preschoolers, Kindergarteners, Daycare, or just a fun craft at home idea.
