Preschool Volcanoes and Backyard Animal Hunt

I wanted to share two of the activities that the boys had a lot of fun with this week. Fun and easy to try! 

Preschool Volcanoes: 

Our playdough eventually turns into brown muck because the boys love it and mix it so once in awhile I take the old brown hardening playdough and use it to mold volcanoes!! We mold it around a cup and then use our dino molds to make some prehistoric friends. 

Once these are complete, we drip some food coloring and plenty of baking soda inside. Then we add the vinegar. Explosion after explosion!! A definite preschool hit!! 

Backyard Animal Hunt: 

Something that always works if I want the boys to play in the backyard for awhile is to hide a ton of animals in the backyard and then tell them the animals need rescuing!! You can give them hot and cold clues if they need help, and with my boys it always turns into a huge outdoor, animal, play session!! ;-) Wahoo!!
