Doodle has had fun with Hill of Fire this week. It's based on a True story down in Mexico where a farmer was plowing his field, and a volcano began forming. It's an I Can Read book- and Doodle will read part of the book to me tomorrow for reading time. After reading Magic School Bus Blows it's Top. We made a Volcano out of Salt Dough, and baked it in the oven at 200 for a few hours for the dough to harden. We formed the volcano around a 20 oz pop bottle, that I cut down then smashed the top back into the bottom, so it had a nice funnel top to erupt though.

That is SO cool! We did a similar project, years ago, when we were reading about a volcanic eruption in Story of the World. Boys always LOVE the change to make something blow up. *LOL*

That is really cool. Looks like he did a great job doing it himself.
I remember making those volcanoes in school. I surely loved them, and I can only imagine that the boys loved it even more!
Kace would love this! Your kids must think you are the coolest mom :)
