Supplies Needed:
- Tray or container(large tupperware/plastic container works well to catch lots of lava mixture after numerous eruptions)
- Paper cup
- Tin foil
- Scissors
- Playdough
Step 1.
Instructions1. Place a paper cup on your tray and wrap tin foil around it, folding the tin foil over the rim of the cup and shaping the remainder tin foil to resemble a mountain. You may need to use 2 or 3 pieces of tin foil for easier shaping.
Steps 2 and 3.
Instructions continued2. Roll out playdough with a rolling pin and place over tin foil. Fold playdough over rim of cup as well. You may need to use 2 or 3 sections of rolled out playdough for easier shaping.
3. Decorate your volcano with trees, animals and buildings if you wish.
Step 4.
4. Make the lava mixture:
- 3 tsps Baking soda
- 1/2 to 1 cup white vinegar
- Food coloring
5. After your volcano is built, put the baking soda into the volcano paper cup. Mix the food coloring with the vinegar in a separate cup. Pour the vinegar/food coloring mixture into the volcano and watch the eruption!
Remember to have lots of lava mixture on hand as kids will want to see this again and again!
