Sensory Activity For Kids:
Outdoor color changing volcano activity
Explode. Color change. Wow! “Let’s do it again, mommy”, your kids say as they watch the magic of a color changing volcano unfold.
Most kids have seen and participated in traditional volcano eruption kids activities but most haven’t seen a color changing volcano activity. It’s so easy to take two colors and let the volcano change to the mixed colors.
This activity is inspired by ideas from Outdoor color changing volcano activity.
What you'll learn
This activity is great to teach your kids:
Creative activities help children express themselves and create something from nothing, explore materials and activities and use their imagination.
Colour recognition activities helps children get to know the different colors and color blending and matching.
Sensory play is play that involves all the senses - taste, sound, sight, touch and smell. Sensory play is very beneficial to children. Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks. Sensory play is also very relaxing and rejuvenating to children.

We tried it
This color changing volcano was a lot of fun to do, and the color changing effect was something special.
I would just suggest using food coloring or paint that won't stain the surrounding areas.

It’s an awesome way to include some STEM learning in my preschool curriculum.―Read More At preschoolinspirations.com
