How to Make a Snow Volcano: Fun Kids’ Activity on a Snow Day!

February 19, 2021      Fun2Find Deals      Leave a Comment

I had no idea how easy it was to make a snow volcano with the supplies I already have on hand! A gal on the Fun2Find Deals FB page shared a video of her kids making theirs and I decided we should go for it! It looked so fun!

The thing is, I’m not a “go big or go home” type of mom. I’m a “I need a simple and straight forward plan of action or it’s not going to happen” type of mom. When I saw my friend’s video I knew that this was something even we could pull off. Simple, easy, and fun. And I already had everything we’d need!

Full Disclosure: Links in this post may be affiliate links. I use these to help keep my blog up and going! I appreciate when you use my links to purchase products (and I know you appreciate knowing it doesn’t cost you any extra!), and I also appreciate you hanging out and reading my blog! Also, find my deal page to see great deals HERE!

My first step was to double check that we had all the supplies on hand.

You’ll need:

  • A small cup or plastic bottle
  • Baking soda (just a couple spoonfuls)
  • Dish Soap (a squirt will do)
  • Vinegar
  • Food coloring (a few drops)
We just used some old plastic cups.

Next… Prepare your supplies!

You need 2-3 spoonfuls of Baking Soda and just a squirt of dish soap. I mixed our food coloring in with our vinegar so that it was all prepped and ready to go. I used gel food coloring because it’s all I had in the house and I put in wayyyyy too much. There were globs left over even after we made two volcanos so next time I’ll know we don’t need as much. A little goes a long way.

Have your kids take the cup out in the snow and build up the snow all around it. The higher the snow pile the more exciting your volcano will be! This was our first time so we just set the cup in the snow and scooped up snow all around. Try not to get the snow in the cup.

Once the snow is nicely packed around and you like the shape of your volcano, put the dish soap and baking soda into your cup and you’re ready to go! You can also put the food coloring in the cup with the baking soda if you didn’t mix it in your vinegar.

Last you pour in the vinegar and step back to watch your creation!

The twins loved pouring their vinegar in the cup and watching it foam over! They immediately asked to make another and thankfully we had plenty of supplies to do it again!

One Last Note…

Just a head’s up – food coloring can stain clothing/ hands /sidewalks and vinegar can kill grass. I didn’t take these things into consideration but hopefully our grass will be ok 🤣🤣. A quick bit of googling shows that it should only harm active, growing grass. But of course that’s the first thing my husband thought of when he came home and we told him about our experiment!

Thanks for Stopping By!

I love being a part of something new.

Thanks to my husband's coworker for shouting out @las_adelitas_cafe to me. They just opened YESTERDAY! And they are busy! Let's keep it that way! They are in the Lux apartment building at 1st and Market. I included a couple pics of outside to help you find them.
When you first walk in look for a menu under the Las Adelitas sign to make ordering quicker when you get to the counter. The pastries aren't on the menu, it depends on what's available that day. They allll look so yummy! The one I had was filled with cream cheese and was excellent! 😋 For my drink, you'll never guess what I got 🤣 My absolute favorite Abue Choco (Mocha) and it was incredible. 
About the shop itself. This place is full of life. The windows are huge and let in wonderful light. The owner said she wanted the yellow countertops because they're happy. She also is such a positive personality! Greeting and saying goodbye to as many customers as possible even when they're the busiest. She can also switch from English so Spanish without batting an eye, so you can order in either language. I chickened out and spoke English... lol. Maybe next time I'll try to practice my Español. 
Having this wonderful Cafecito in the middle of downtown is a wonderful addition. Love the cultural flair and personal touches. You'll definitely feel like family when you walk in. 
Make sure to bring some change for the meters if you plan for street parking. 
Please let me know when you go! #cafécito #cafecito #coffeeshop #localcoffeebreak #supportlocal #shopsmall

⭐️⭐️⭐️ How many times have you asked y ⭐️⭐️⭐️ How many times have you asked yourself the following questions:
- Is that the only plant that Chandler has in her whole house since it ends up in every single picture?
- I know Chandler likes using natural, aluminum free deodorant and has tried probably 10 different kinds. I wonder what her favorite kind is?
Today is YOUR lucky day! I am answering both questions! (I'll answer the plant question below... 😅)
- THIS is my fave natural deodorant. I thought about listing the other 10 kinds I've tried but that didn't seem very nice. They all are fine... I just have to reapply the others several times a day. 
- THIS one I don't have to reapply! It really works! 
- I like THIS one so much that I actually reached out the company for a prømø cøde! They don't do prømø cødes on amazon, but they DO offer the s&s option for a significant s@vings! And you can cancel anytime! 
- Have you figured it out yet?! Do you know which is my absolute favorite natural deodorant?!
