Wednesday (Zane loves Wednesdays right now -- we talk about this particular day of the week a lot) we were playing cars when Zane started acting out a story involving a volcano. So I asked him if he wanted to make a volcano. We proceeded to begin a project that I knew would lead to entertainment for a day or two.
First he (we) made the playdough. We shaped a third of it into a volcano. We pulled out the baking soda and lemon juice. After hearing the initial fizzle: "Mom, it sounds like Sprite. Does it taste like Sprite? Can I taste it?" So he touched his tongue to a spoon of it. "It should be red like real lava."
When Vanessa got home, she learned from Zane how he made a volcano erupt. And he was sure for her to have a turn.
Of course we then learned to make a gingerbread man from Vanessa . . . :-)
