This activity never gets old! I stapled a rectangle of foam into a cone shape and trimmed the bottom so it would sit on the plate. The boys used a quick setting plaster to make the volcano. Then they poured some baking powder into it, using a funnel, added some red food coloring drops, then finally poured vinegar into the mouth of the volcano. Voila...instant eruption!
The boys had such a blast and spend a LOT of time creating "eruptions". They decided to add dinosaurs to the scene and had fun creating their own little stories, too.

Noah would love that...we'll have to try it soon. Volcanos have been a big topic of discussion with our upcoming move to Sicily and living at the foot of Mt. Etna
