Jars of fun: Radahkrishnan and the children with the snow globes that they made at Tech Dome Penang. — LIM BENG TATT/The Star

A pinch of glitter dust was then added to the liquid mixture before the jar was closed and sealed tight, and voila! – snow globes were produced by some 250 underprivileged children who attended the ‘Chemistry Christmas’ workshop at Tech Dome Penang.
