Volcano, volcano, volcano!

Over a period of several weeks now Mia has been planning, making and painting a volcano. We have read books and found pictures about volcanoes and found out about amazing eruptions. But what she has been really wanting to do is make her own eruptions.

First the clay needed to dry.


And the paint and the PVA needed to dry.








And So, today was the day! With Bicarb, vinegar and various food colourings (you've got to see how green lava turns out!) we were ready to go.



It was fantastic!


She was so pleased with everything. While she wasn't keen on the waiting! the whole project has been her own work and has been wonderful to watch.

Check out the video of the eruption in action!
