Volcano Playdate

Today we invited over some friends for a volcano playdate.

We got this idea to make tin foil volcano's from Ramblings of a Crazy Woman. As you can see, I ran out of red food coloring, so we had yellow lava instead.


Since I had 16 kids here, I made 6 volcano's for them so they could be in small groups to do it. It would have been such a pain to make 6 different clay volcano's, so I'm so glad that I saw this tin foil one!


Then we used eye droppers to squirt "lava" onto a volcano.


This craft turned out really cute!
We read Our World Volcanoes by Valerie Bodden, it is a Great informational book made for younger kids. We also watched a youtube movie on an erupting volcano. It was a GREAT playdate!
