Small plastic figures for snow globe.

[DCS]

Any ideas where I can get some? I have checked, b&m and the poundshop. I know both used to do little packs of dinosaurs but I couldn't find them. I need about 20 for the kids Christmas party. Also if anyone has any suggestions of other things we could add to the Base that would be great. I was thinking tiny Christmas trees, or bits of a garland chopped up. But can't find either.

Have you tried Hobbycraft? They usually do lots of little bits and pieces.
B&M and Sainsburys both had tubs of small dinos when Ive been in recently.

Do you have a link to the snow globes you plan on making? What sort of size are the bases and globe?
Maybe the mini christmas trees used on christmas cakes could work? Have a look at item number 190854670107 on ebay. There are lots of small christmas figures in the cake decoration section in the supermarkets at the minute.
Depending on of you are filling you snow globes with liquid or not? if it was a dry snow globe using polystyrene balls then you could use wooden decorations such as this cute gingerbread house from tesco https://www.tesco.com/direct/gingerbread-house-christmas-tree-decoration/172-1965.prd?skuId=172-1965
or small tree decs with a flat base that can be easily glued, along the lines of this

Or buy something like this, take it apart then just let the kids glue it back together adding in the snow. https://www.therange.co.uk/occasion...bles/hanging-santa-bell-jar-decoration#134862

Thank ladies. It's a dry snow globe. I thought that would be safer for the little ones. I managed to find some small plastic animals in a small local shop. The plan is to use small clear plastic party cups. Add a cardboard Base and stick the figures to the Base. Using polystyrene balls or bicarb with a bit of glitter for the snow. It's just for something for the kids to do at the party.
