It includes fast-drying plaster, a volcano mold, paint, a brush, and a stir stick. Recommended for ages 8 and up, it requires vinegar and baking soda (not included) to produce a fizzy 'lava' eruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the Volcano Eruption Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eruption simulates a real volcanic reaction using a simple chemical process. When you mix vinegar (an acid) with baking soda (a base), they react to form carbon dioxide gas. That gas builds up pressure inside the hardened plaster volcano, pushing the liquid out as bubbling foam. It’s a safe, non-toxic demonstration of a real geological event.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlaster\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFast-drying type for shaping the volcano\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolcano mold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReusable form to create the structure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaint \u0026amp; brush\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFor decorating the volcano\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStir stick\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMixing plaster and paint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetailed guide included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat You’ll Need That Is Not Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVinegar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaking soda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater (for mixing plaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewspaper or drop cloth (to protect surfaces)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Do You Make the Volcano Erupt?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst, mix the plaster with water and pour it into the mold. Let it dry completely. Paint the volcano to look realistic. Make a small crater at the top. Add a spoonful of baking soda, then pour in vinegar. Stand back as the 'lava' flows out. The reaction lasts for several seconds and can be repeated by adding more baking soda and vinegar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho Is This Kit For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for children ages 8 and up, this kit works well for school science projects, family activities, or curious kids who enjoy hands-on learning.

They are common household items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take to build the volcano?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlaster drying time varies but typically takes a few hours. Painting and decorating can be done once the plaster is firm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan the volcano be used more than once?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plaster volcano is reusable. Clean the crater after each eruption and let it dry before adding fresh baking soda and vinegar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4M","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58077621485871,"sku":null,"price":26.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/4478\/7503\/files\/4m-kidzlabs-volcano-making-kit-diy-science-project-for-ages-8-1.jpg?v=1781594741","url":"https:\/\/toysforkid.co.uk\/products\/4m-kidzlabs-volcano-making-kit-diy-science-project-for-ages-8","provider":"Toys For Kid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
