Children love to garden!  These crafts and activities help children
personalize their gardening space with fun and frugal tips.
  • Talk with children about the
    formation of the earth.  On what day
    did God bring forth the land?
  • Learn about the layers of the earth
    and how they relate to the formation
    of volcanoes.
  • Older children can learn about the
    ever changing crust and how God
    has designed the earth to sustain.
Step 1
Make yourself a big ole pile of Salt
dough.  Recipe Here.
Step 2
Find a small cylindrical container that
you no longer need.
Step 4
Set your volcano aside to
dry...maybe overnight.
Step 5
Find a shallow box and paint a
landscape in it.
Step 3
Build your volcano around your
container.  
Step 6
Place your volcano into the box and
paint it at well.
Step 7
Once the paint is dry it's time to set
of your volcano!  Pour a tablespoon
of baking soda into the container.
What better way to finish off your
volcano unity study, then by
making your very own errupting
volcano!  This is  a great project
for children of all ages, and
provides a fantastic opportunity
for children to try their hand at
presenting their work.
Step 10
Stand back and watch your volcano
erupt!
Step 8
Mix vinagar with red food coloring
(because it's lava!)
Step 9
Slowly pour your vinagar into the
container.
Let it erupt and continue to pour in
the vinagar for multiple bursts!  Here
are a few shots we got of our
erupting volcano!
