First we rolled out the volcano dough.
Then we painted the volcano.
First Eruption.
Second eruption.
Third set of eruptions. Dinosaurs watch the explosion.
Next set of eruptions where we start changing the color of the lava.
When Dinoguy decides to put dinosaurs on the volcano and see what happens.
The dinosaurs take a bath in the volcano lava.
We erupted this volcano for about an hour before having to get ready to go to a playgroup. It was a magical time for me to see the magic of the volcano eruption thru the eyes of my kids (and later, the kids we played with.) I learned so much from my kids in this and had a magical day.
Later, I got more chance for release and understanding of magic for kids in simple play with the colored play-dough. I haven't ever liked mixing colors, (maybe the lack of order?) but some gentle souls in these children showed me the beauty of it and shared their discoveries with me and sculptures and let me take pictures to try and capture some of that magic I found to remember later.

That volcano is awesome! I bet your boys loved it. And I love the way they keep switching between shirts and skins. Very fun!
My favorite is the one where the dinosaurs are climbing up the sides! Cool videos - after this video-inspiraton, you can guess what we'll be doing at the kitchen table here soon. :)
This brings back memories! I remember how fascinated I was when I did this for the first time.
What fun. You are such a great mom. I remember doing that kind of stuff with my mom. Thanks for sharing the fun videos.
I love that you have both shirts off when they're painting. Very wise mother you are. :) I know what you mean about order and play dough colors. I need to break free from this parenting cloak and mush some color together...
