This traditional Snow Globe, small model, will delight children and adults! A snow globe is a transparent sphere, traditionally made of glass, enclosing a miniaturized custom scene: a model of a town, landscape or figure. The sphere also encloses the water in the globe and the "snow" falls. To activate the snow, the globe is shaken to churn up the snow particles. Snow globes are often used as a collectible item. Gift Box included.
