The volcano blogs were written in 2013 but on special request we republish them. We had a lot of fun making the volcano so here it is again!
How to make a volcano
Cut out a side including the flap from a firm cardboard box.
Make a rill on both sides in the cut out piece of cardboard.
Fold up the rilled edges and tape the corners firmly.
Snip the cardboard roll and tape it to the bottom.
Cut 6 strips out of the box, bend the ends and tape them to the bottem.
Bend the top ends too and cut any excess cardboard off.
Tape the tops of the strips firmly on the empty roll. Use lots of tape!
When you are done the volcano skeleton looks like this.
Cram the vulcano's inside with old newspapers.
Make wall papering glue as described on the package.
Shred newspapers and add the shreds to the glue.
Stir the shreds of paper into the glue and put the bucket aside. Now the glue can thicken overnight and we continue in the morning!
