Everything you need to make a volcano: Vinegar, dish soap, a small container, baking soda, food coloring and three girls.
Making the climb to the volcano mount (the sandbox).
Forming the cone.
The volcano is finished. Now for the ingredients.
Baking soda.
The dish soap is added. (The king and queen look on, unaware of their impending doom.)
The final ingredent, vinegar, was added after this to begin the reaction. (After doing this twice, it was decided that it is best to add the food coloring to the vinegar before pouring it into the volcano.)
Slowly the volcano lava--a bit bubbly and pink-- starts to flow. This was our first try--the lava was a little sluggish, but it was still exciting.
Our second try was much more exciting and bloody, as you can see.

The girls played in the carnage for a while after this, and then took the toys inside, washed them, and put them in the hospital.
I love all of the sacrificial royalty perched on the edge of the volcano. It looks like the whole town hiked up the mountain only to die.
