materials:

  • Egg carton
  • Craft scissors
  • Baking soda
  • Vinegar
  • Dropper
  • Bowl
  • Cardboard
  • Hot glue gun
  • Washable kids paint (orange, red, green)
  • Paintbrush

 

Instructions:

  1. Using the craft scissors, cut the middles of the egg carton.
  2. Cut a piece of cardboard, approximately 4 x 4 inches and glue the egg carton volcanoes onto the cardboard using a hot glue gun (this step is for adults).
  3. Next, using a funnel (or not, like me lol), place about a tablespoon of baking soda into each section.
  4. Using the paint, paint the volcanoes to make them look real!
  5. Pour a bit of vinegar into a bowl.
  6. Using the dropper, squirt vinegar into the holes of the egg carton volcanoes to watch them erupt!

What is my child learning and improving?

  • Fine motor skills (painting with the paintbrush, pinching the droppers and releasing)
  • Creativity + imagination (decorating the volcanoes, imagining the volcanoes erupting)
  • Experiments (this is great, easy experiment to see the reaction of baking soda with vinegar for even the very little ones)
