V is for Volcano

 

• Classic Erupting Volcano!
  1. In a clean cup or jar, add a spoonful of red sprinkle sugar (for the red lava!)
  2. Measure and add 1/4 cup baking soda.
  3. Shake the sugar + baking soda together to mix well. Or just add a few drops of red food coloring.
  4. Add about 1/4 cup vinegar and watch your volcano ERUPT!

  

• Eyedropper Volcanoes … great idea from Preschool Playhouse
  1. On a tray, place a pile of baking soda.
  2. Mix vinegar + a few drops of food coloring in a cup.
  3. Give the kids an eyedropper. Have them fill it with vinegar, squeeze onto the baking soda and watch mini volcanoes erupt!

 

• Erupting Milk Volcanoes … another fun idea from Preschool Playhouse! 
  1. Fill a glass 1/2 full of milk.
  2. Add a few drops of red food coloring (or use strawberry milk)
  3. Give your kids a straw and ask them to BLOW to make their volcano erupt! TIP: Put a tray underneath to avoid a big mess
