We made a volcano today. The color choices of vinegar ended up creating ice cream colors. Swipe for the before and the ice cream volcano. Though, as I said many times throughout the process, it definitely would not taste good. Project idea and play dough recipe from #playmakecreatebymericherry Image description: Slide 1- A beige play dough volcano on an aluminum foil tray with blue stripes running down the sides and a puddle of dried baking soda around the bottom with spots of red and blue. Slide 2- the clean play dough volcano before adding the vinegar and baking soda. Slide 3- The play dough volcano full of fluffy pink liquid with a trail flowing down the right side. Slide 4- Overhead view of the play dough volcano with pink and blue fluffy liquid inside, running down the back, and pooling at the bottom. Slide 5- The play dough volcano and aluminum foil tray on pebbles. A small child’s hands are squeezing a bottle of red vinegar into the volcano and red fluffy liquid is pouring out of the volcano, pooling with blue liquid on the tray. Slide 6- A small child leans over and adds blue vinegar to the volcano, which has blue fluffy liquid pouring out and pooling at the bottom. ——————————————————— #kidsscience #bakingsodavolcano #playmakecreate #kidsart https://www.instagram.com/p/CC95xvIna_L/?igshid=1bevhqg60tedq

More #playmakecreate goodness today with these ice sculptures. It started out looking like tie dye, then ended up as a galaxy. Also, just to toot my own horn, I successfully transported all that ice over the hill, with a doggy daycare drop off, without it melting at all. Image description: set of four slides as follows Slide 1: piles of ice in a storage bucket with small splashes of red and blue color on top. The bucket is on a green mat surrounded by squirt bottles, a spray bottle and bowls of salt. A small child is pouring glitter from a small vial onto the ice. Slide 2: The same ice bucket with mostly blue and a little red covering the surface. The red squirt bottle is aimed into the bucket from the top left corner. Slide 3: The ice in the bucket is beginning to melt, creating a dark purple sea around an island of ice. There is now some green visible among the red, blue, and purple on the ice along with more glitter in various colors. Salt is raining down from above in the upper left corner. Slide 4: A close up of the ice showing the mixing of the colors, mostly blue and purple with some red and green in the center. There is also red, green, gold, and silver glitter visible on the surface of the ice. ——————————————————— #playmakecreateaprocessarthandbook #playmakecreatebymericherry #keepembusy #kidsactivities #kidsscience #processart https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwn3S-nIUC/?igshid=1g4dyvavdhegk
