Do You Want To Build A Snow Globe? KPL Will Show You How

Kalamazoo Public Library is holding a workshop for teens to create snow globes. Start a collection or give a unique DIY gift.

They are so simple, yet so mesmerizing. Anyone can operate a snow globe, just turn it upside down, the right-side up; shaking is optional. No batteries required. Ah, but what is inside is important and just how do they get that stuff in there anyway? Teens in grades 6-12 will have a chance to find out and create their own DIY snow globe at the Oshtemo branch of Kalamazoo Public Library.

• DIY Snow Globes
• Tuesday, Dec. 10 | 5:30- 6:30 pm
• Kalamazoo Public Library, Oshtemo 7265 W Main St Kalamazoo
• Registration is FREE but required for students grades 6-12
