Ava picked out a book at the library a couple weeks ago called KID CONCOCTIONS and CONTRAPTIONS by, John E. and Danita Thomas, so for the past two weeks we have been making things like a Balloon Hovercraft, Wacky Window Paint, Rain Paint, Tasty Taffy, Indoor Hot Air Balloon, Bubblin Brew Finger Paints, and a Pistol Popper to name some, however the one thing that she
really wanted to make was a volcano. I had been putting it off since I knew that it would be messy and time consuming, but since the book is due back tommorow, (thank goodness) I gave in and today we started on the volcano.
First we made paper mache paste out of flour and water and started covering a plastic water bottle with newspaper strips dipped in the paste.
This is what it looks like now. As soon as it dries we will paint it and then watch it explode with vinegar and baking soda. How Fun! We'll show you pictures when it is finished.
I added one photo of Ava on the jungle gym. She sure is a little monkey!
