Looking for a fun learning experiment for your kids? This volcano experiment for kids is so easy to make and provides a lot of fun. With just a few simple ingredients and some household items, you are sure to already have on hand, you can make a volcano in no time.

Volcano Experiment for Kids
We have been homeschooling for a while now and I have found that anything we study always sinks in better when there is a hands-on lesson with it. The fun experiment doubles as a lesson in volcanos as well as a lesson in chemistry and reactions. Even if you don’t homeschool, this is still a fun activity that kids always enjoy.

Volcano Experiment for Kids

We’re big fans of science experiments and STEM activities. My kids love trying new science experiments. However, sometimes the classic science experiments really are the best. Like how to make a volcano for kids. Using just a few items you are guaranteed to already have around the house, this volcano is so much fun. Plus, you can keep doing the reaction over and over.

  • Playdough (we used this homemade Kool-Aid playdough recipe)
  • Plastic cup
  • Baking soda
  • Vinegar
    • You can color the vinegar with food coloring
