Thomas made a Volcano

For Christmas Thomas got a Make Your Own Volcano Kit.

This is us building and erupting it. You had to mix up Plaster, form the mountain on a plastic mold, hide a tube inside the volcano, then when it was dry, paint it (we used black and silver) then after that dried, you can mix up vinegar and dish soap -to make it foamy- with food coloring. Then you squeeze it up through the tube, and it mixes with the included super-baking-soda...Voila! Volcano!

The bottom 2 pictures were first, then about 3 days later (after the paint dried and Grace had time to break the edges up...oops...) are the top 4 pictures.

We had to put a towel down because if they squeezed too hard, it would shoot vinegar across the room!
