  3. Background

  4. Step By Step Instructions… Step 1 Use a sheet of plywood at least 8 inches wider and longer than your planned volcano to make the base, to prevent the lava from staining surfaces during eruptions. Step 2 Use salt dough, plaster or papier-mâché to form a mountain around an empty 2-liter bottle placed upright at the center of the plywood base. Be sure to leave the lid off. Step 3 Form the model volcano's open top tightly around the mouth of the bottle. Step 4 Make ridges and channels beginning at the volcano's top and ending at the base of the volcano for the lava to flow through. Step 5 Let the volcano dry completely, then paint it with acrylics or spray paint. Plastic aquarium plants can be clipped and glued to the volcano for trees. Step 6 Spray the volcano and plywood with a clear sealant after the paint has dried. Step 7 Mix 1 tbsp. liquid dish washing soap, 1 tbsp. baking soda and a few drops of red food coloring in a cup. Step 8 Pour the mixture carefully into the bottle. Step 9 Set the volcano in an open area, preferably outside. Step 10 Pour 1/4 c. white vinegar into the bottle and stand back to watch your volcano erupt!
