First we rolled out the volcano dough.
Then we painted the volcano.

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.
