Classic Erupting Volcano

A little baking soda, a little color, a little vinegar and you've got yourself a fantastically 'explosive' reaction!

Mini Eyedropper Volcanoes

A fun twist on the classic volcano - mini volcanoes! If you're looking for the least messy of the three activities, we'd go with this one. But, then again, there's the possibility of a dumped tray of baking soda so the reality is, complete all of these at your own risk!

Give a child a glass of milk and a straw and we're pretty sure this activity will be instictive!
