Making Volcanoes!

Grace and Jack have been learning about volcanoes this week. They ended their volcano week by making their very own volcanoes! Grace and Jack covered two glass jars with a dough mixture to make volcano shapes. They measured and mixed together the following ingredients: 6 cups of flour, 2 cups of salt, 4 tablespoons of cooking oil and 2 cups of warm water.

Grace and Jack LOVED mixing the dough mixture together with their hands until it was a smooth consistency. I love this picture of them working together with their heads and hands touching!

Here are Grace and Jack's finished volcanoes. There will be big eruptions at our house early next week. Look out for some explosive pictures. :)

Love this project!
Now, Rebecca, you have given me 'food for thought'--in the midst of selling a home, buying a new home, deciding on paint colors, going through a cleaning frenzy, organizing and planning, and having a new baby, all the while spending your days with Jack & Grace......you decide to have the children build erupting volcanoes!!

Like I say, you are such an engaging Mommy. I love the way I learn through you.

Love to all eruptions up there in Maine, large and small,
Mom

Got Gracie, Jack & Eve?
