The liquid in snow globes is typically a mixture of water and glycerin or another thickening agent. Glycerin helps to slow down the falling "snow" (often made of white glitter or small plastic flakes) so that it drifts gently, creating a more enchanting effect. Some snow globes may also contain a small amount of antifreeze to prevent the liquid from freezing in colder climates.

What are the differences between snow globes and water globes, and how do they work?
Snow globes and water globes are similar in that they both contain liquid and objects inside a sealed glass dome. The main difference is that snow globes have white particles that resemble snowflakes, while water globes do not. Snow globes work by shaking them to create a snowfall effect, as the particles float in the liquid. Water globes work by swirling the liquid inside to create a calming or mesmerizing effect, without any snow-like particles.
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.
Can snow globes freeze?
Snow globes can freeze if the liquid inside them, typically a mixture of water and glycerin or antifreeze, reaches temperatures below freezing. When the liquid freezes, it expands, which can potentially crack the glass globe if there is not enough room for expansion. To prevent this, it is recommended to keep snow globes in a temperature-controlled environment above freezing temperatures.
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.

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.
