Toddlers Make a Volcano at Laugh and Learn, momstown KW

The Little Scientists portion of momstown KW's Laugh and Learn program had a monthly theme of Pirates and Princesses this month.

 

We decided to make a volcano!

 

We taped a plastic cup to a paper plate with masking tape:

 

Then we painted it to look like a real volcano:

 

 

Next we mixed red food colouring with vinegar and added it to baking soda we had put in the volcano.

 

 

 

 

 

The result was a chemical reaction that cause the volcano to ERUPT!!

 

 

 

 

Next week at Laugh and Learn we are making Pirate Patch Pin Wheels for Jr. Chef. We hope to see you there!

Fox and Squirrel Join the Fun at Laugh and Learn: Tales for Tots in KW

Scholastic Canada donated a cute book, Fox and Squirrel to our Laugh and Learn: Tales for Tots program in September.

 

The book reads of a fox and squirrel who are great friends despite their differences.

 

 

 

After reading Fox and Squirrel, we made masks that represented the main characters in the book.

 

 

 

 

 

It takes half a paper plate painted either brown or orange to make the mask.

Then, cut out eye holes before using construction paper to make ears for either the fox or squirrel.

Finally, add teeth for the squirrel or whiskers for the fox and then your mask is ready for a straw fastened to the back.

 

 

The result is a super cute mask!

 

 

At the end of the day, we had play and social time and one lucky boy got to take the book home!

 

Join us next week at Laugh and Learn for Alphabet Play.
