Baking soda volcanoes are always a big hit with the kids. I've tried it with kids of all ages it never fails to win them over! My kids will make their volcanoes erupt until they run out of ingredients. I remember when I was a kid one of my first science projects was a baking soda volcano. This is one of my fondest memories with my father as a child. He was always so excited to help me with science projects and I really appreciate the memories and the time he spent making them with me!
All you really need to make a volcano is baking soda, vinegar, and a container to put them in. To make ours we first made a play dough volcano with a small measuring cup from a children's Tylenol bottle pushed into the top. We then poured the vinegar and the baking soda into the cup and walla a mini volcano!
Here is a play dough recipe you can use. http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/PEP/playdo.htm
Another really fun thing to do is mix colors. Watch the clip above to see my daughter mix yellow and blue to make green.
