Lava-ble Volcano Valentine
Your little ones are going to lava to give out these creative, interactive volcano valentines at their class party!
“You are so lava-ble!” science based volcano valentine!
To make these DIY volcano valentines, you’ll need:
Vinegar
Baking Soda
Small, watertight containers - .6 to 1 ounce (available on Amazon, or you can do what I did and repurpose wedding bubble containers from Dollar Tree!)
3x4 clear envelopes with adhesive strip (I got mine on Amazon)
Ribbon
Scissors
Stapler
Rags to clean up the vinegar that is bound to spill
Optional:
Red food coloring to take the “lava” to the next level
Glitter to make the explosion sparkle
Funnel to simplify all the pouring
Time to dive right in!
Print off and cut out Lava-ble Volcano Valentines
Pour vinegar into containers, add food coloring and close those babies up before they spill
Pour about a teaspoon of baking powder into each envelope. Add red and gold glitter to make it fancy
Seal envelopes
Staple the “Lava-ble” Volcano Valentines to the top of the envelop ( I also stapled the ribbon on)
Tie the vinegar containers to the valentines
These bubble containers come in a pack of 6 for $1 at Dollar Tree in the wedding section. Save the bubble solution for later, pull the bubble wands out of the caps, and voila! You’ve got the perfect sized, watertight containers!
These Dollar Tree wedding bubble wands slide right out of the cap!
Vinegar with red food coloring, aka - molten LAVA!
About a teaspoon of baking powder, plus red and gold glitter
Seal the envelope, add the “You are so lava-ble” volcano valentine
Save a little time by stapling the ribbon right on to the valentine
And there you have it!
Bonus: there are several “I lava you” valentines out there, but my 6 year old son was NOT about to hand out punny “I love you” cards to the girls in his class. haha These “You are so lava-ble” volcano valentines, on the other hand, earned his stamp of cootie-free approval.
If you and your kids make these fun volcano valentines, be sure to post about it using #mylife-onpurpose and tag me on IG @mommingonpurpose!
