My daughter was studying volcanos at school, so I found this at a perfect time. She loves it, and with one example, she can make her own volcano erupt whenever she likes. Clean-up is tolerable.

This volcano was a big hit. I read the enclosed booklet to my kids about the different types of volcanos. That was short enough but informative enough- just right. We separated the two parts of the volcano and talked about what each part of the labeled side does. Then we errupted it. That was the ONLY part that was a wee bit disappointing and I think that the reason for it was that we followed the recipe for lava in the booklet. That contained liquid dish soap. I think the dish soap slowed down the flow. It was probably more realistic that way, but not quite as exciting. Next time, we will leave the soap out. Overall, it was pretty good.

This review is from: Learning Resources Erupting Volcano Model (Toy)

Because my 6 years old's son is a curious pre-scientific, I thought a real volcano (volcano model) could nourish his always thinking mind. However, the volcano was amazing just the first time he saw it. We make an eruption at the follow day and another one in the follow one. That's it! Now the box is standing in my room formally "inactive". As a teacher, I wondering if it could be a good experience for my students at school, but I don't know yet if for 3 years old could provide the same emotions than for a 5-6 years child. The information inside the model is more for older ones. For educational resource, it will help but for a regular present for your children (it doesn't matter how scientific they are) won't be a good-excited idea.
