volcanoes!

after discussing the current events in iceland we made some of our own volcanoes by covering glass jars with homemade play dough...

mia was our "wetter" (which is why she looks the way she does in the top photo), while the others were "the dryers"...

theo's flour covered costume cracks me up...

there's something about food dye that the kids can't resist getting their hands completely stained with...

once finished we mixed baking soda and vinegar and watched in amazement as they erupted!

at some point two of the four kids became pant less- i blame the excitement!

it was messy but everyone helped clean up.
