Pining for cooler weather or an excuse to stay inside after playing in the pool, but about as Martha Stewart as Paris Hilton? How about some fabulous whimsical handmade globes!! The beautiful globes pictured right are courtesy of blogger Little Elephants, who did these (with a gaggle of kids - imagine!) for her daughter's birthday party. Granted, these are more appropriate for school-age kids, but with sufficient adult supervision (and serious adult-help to glue the lids on) they are possible.
Ingredients include sea glass, plastic sea creatures, glycerin, and lots of glittery sparkly things. Another version of this globe is also featured at Kiddley (the now on hiatus fabulous kid craft site).
