V is for Volcano!
- Volcano Baking Soda and Vinegar Experiment: you can’t learn about the letter V without taking about volcanoes! Make a volcano with red food coloring, baking soda, and vinegar. I made a volcano out of clap and put a small water bottle inside where I put the baking soda. I then poured vinegar with red dye into the bottle and we had fun watching the volcano erupt!
- Volcano Sensory Activity: We love adding these fun volcanoes to kinetic sand or other sensory bins! My students also like using them as a mold to make volcanoes out of play dough.
- Volcano craft: Make a volcano out of the letter V and use red, yellow, and orange tissue paper to make the lava.
