Hi Rhonda! I love filling clear plastic ornaments! The top should come off so you can fill it. Here you can see sand ornaments I made this way - https://www.charlestoncrafted.com/2018/11/13/diy-beach-christmas-ornaments/

  Thanks for your response. I guess I could do same thing with faux snow and other materials.

Slightly water down acrylic paints and swirl it around. But wait till paint dries to add another color ?

  The kind where top comes off. They are plastic and iridescent. I am making these with 26 fifth graders.

  Excellent! Where I live they are far too politically correct. If this is the case where you are, try and keep it generic with a winter theme, think trees, sand, snow, snowflakes, candy, etc., and give the kids options in order not to offend anyone. Here are some ideas.

  Dollar stores are fantastic places to gather cheap supplies. Aquarium gravel is budget friendly (one bag can easily do the job), and comes in lots of pretty colors too.
  
  My brother and sister in law are educators and my ex hubby and I have had the opportunity to go in and help on art and craft projects when teachers need an adult extra hand to assist the kids. If left to their own devices, many are quite creative and might just surprise you.
