Is the inside of a snow globe poisonous?

Some manufacturers put antifreeze in the snow globe liquid to prevent the liquid from freezing during shipping. Antifreeze could cause damage to the kidneys. Do not allow children to drink the liquid from snow globes. Pets can be poisoned as well, so keep them away if a snow globe breaks. Additional information: Snow globes made in the United States after 2000 will typically use a safer liquid. They do not use anti-freeze which is toxic to pets and humans.

What do you put in snow globes?

If you are making your own snow globes, you may wish to try several things for "snow" inside the globe: 1) crushed egg shells will suffice as snow. Rinse after crushing with a rolling pin. Do not crush into fine dust. 2) glitter or sparkles from a craft store - be aware that some colors will bleach into the liquid over time, so silvers and whites may work best 3) some craft stores sell the "snow" component specifically for snow globes, you can find on line from National Artcraft. They also call their "snow" component "drifting bits" or "flakes for snow globes." If you are asking what type of scene or figure to put in, look for small animal figures at the bulk section of a toy store, or party packs that have small items. Test in liquid overnight to be sure it will hold up. You can use hot glue or superglue to hold in place.


What are snow flakes made of?

there are a lot of different items that are used to represent "snow" in a snow globe. Old-fashioned globes, and artisan globes today, often used crushed real egg shells to represent snow. If you are making your own, be sure to rinse the shells well in a strainer to get the "dust" off after crushing, so you don't fog up the liquid. Globes made commercially also use plastic composite material designed to float slowly in the snow globe liquid. Some snow globes use types of glitter and/or mylar confetti instead of "snow." The mylar confetti -- when used -- must be tested to be sure it is color-safe in liquid, or it will tint over time. This is why white, silver and some gold confetti and sparkles are the most common as they have less color tint and will stay the original color in the liquid.


Do snow globes waste water?

Only if you don't smash it open and put a use to it yourself.


Can snow globes freeze?

yes, IF the liquid inside them is water, the globe can freeze and break. Many snow globes or snow domes made overseas and shipped to the U.S. use a combination of water and antifreeze. These items are classified as "collectibles" or home decoration, not toys, so they are legal to enter through customs. The very few United States manufacturers of snow globes do NOT use antifreeze, but use a high-grade liquid that does not freeze until as cold as 45 degrees below, is clear and non-toxic. But in regular shipping and use, the US-made globes do not freeze as they do not use water alone.


Is breathing snow globe liquid toxic?

Modern snow globes are usually filled with water, fake "snow" and an added antifreeze. The "snow" is bits of plastic in modern globes, bone chips, sand, gold foil, or sawdust in old globes. The antifreeze is usually glycol or glycerin. Both of these substances are potentially harmful if ingested in sufficient quantities. Breathing the vapors is unlikely to cause harm, but is best avoided.


Is their energy in a snowglobe?

What an interesting question! Most snow globes are fairly simple, with a glass globe, liquid, an interior scene or artwork, something to float in the liquid and a sealant to keep the liquid inside the globe and base. The "energy" would mainly be from shaking the snow globe -- a person picks it up, and shakes it, and the movement of the liquid will cause the glitter or "snow" to swirl and shake as well. The energy in this case is the pull of gravity, slowly bringing all moveable parts back to the bottom of the globe. Some fancy newer globes do add lights, or fans, or mechanical pieces to move the liquid/snow and to create special effects. However, the vast majority of snow globes have energy only in the way that a glass of water contains energy.
