{ our sunday volcano project }

beau & i made a volcano sunday.

we started out with an empty gatorade bottle.

i hot glued it to a foil wrapped cardboard piece.

then we formed paper around the bottle and taped it.

i used a elmer's glue & water mixture to creat apaper mache.

we used our scrap paper and covered the volcano.

i sat it in front of the fan to dry for about 2 hours.

we painted the brown and then the red.

i put a little liquid dish soap and yellow and red food coloring in the bottle.

then i poured in about 1 tbsp baking soda.

i had a half cup of warm water that i added.

then add a half cup white vinegar.

then enjoy the erruption.

:)

ps :: by allowing the volcano to dry well and wrapping the cardboard

 in foil you can reuse the volcano for several erruptions!
