WORKSHOP FOR CHILDREN: Make Your Own Volcano

When Europe’s largest volcano, Etna, erupted again on 21 April 2020, it inspired us to make our own volcano in today’s workshop 😊

MATERIALS:

  • plastic cup
  • modelling clay (plasticine / air-dry clay)
  • baking soda
  • dishwashing detergent
  • food colouring (or red paprika powder)
  • vinegar
  • large plastic tray or cardboard box

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Use modelling clay to shape a “volcano” around the plastic cup
  • Put a little warm water into the cup, add 3 tablespoons of baking soda and a little dishwashing detergent
  • When you are ready for the eruption, add vinegar coloured with red dye into the “volcano”

Share your creations with us!
