I'm always amazed at the things that a toddler can get fixated on. And the enthusiasm of his fixation. Yesterday Little Man spent the morning pretending to erupt like a volcano. It was pretty impressive. To help feed his hungry little mind we made the proverbial science fair volcano. Considering he is almost three and a half and I didn't get to do this until about 7th grade, I told myself that my little guy is advanced.
I'm not sure I actually need to give instructions for this, but here is what I used:
- pie plate
- empty spice jar
- homemade play dough
- baking soda
- vinegar
I let him do it as many times as he wanted, which was about fifteen. My favorite part was hearing him say, "That't amazing, hun?" and "That's spec-tack-ler!"
I'm impressed that you made an actual (looking) volcano. I just made mine use a glass!
ReplyDeleteThe play dough was just hanging around the kitchen. It was getting old anyway.
