12 Days of Christmas: Day 6: Volcanoes

Have a BLAST this Christmas


On the sixth day of Christmas, Learning that's Fun gave to me, a Scientific Explorer Lava-Blasting Volcano Kit from Toy Universe!


Do you know how HARD it is to explain to a 6 year old , that we can only look at the box and the pictures on the back, but we are not allowed to open this and make our own volcanic explosion??? It's like trying to herd cats. Can't be done! BUT, the general feedback from Riley on this, was that it looked AWESOME, and he wished he could keep it. He really wanted to get his hands dirty making the plaster mould, paining it up and mixing the exploding ingredients. BUT, some other very lucky child out there is definitely going to love getting this in their Christmas Stocking!

So for the budding scientist, geologist or generally excited young one over 4 years old, this kit has everything you need to create your very own volcano, and then mix the ingredients together to demonstrate volcanic eruptions up to 10 times over! From this hands-on kit you can learn how volcanoes come to be, how the lava explodes and much more about the Earth and the forces of nature.


Other products in the Scientific Explorer range from Toy Universe include the Magic Science Kit, My First Music Science Kit and Outer Space Kit, priced from $19 to $24. View the Full Range here.

  1. My 6 year old son says that Scientific Explorer My First Outer Space Science Kit is his favourite - because these days he is learning about planets in school & is very curious about everything related to outer space...

    If i have to tell my favourite then i would say Scientific Explorer Lava Blasting Volcano Science Kit because it will save me from thousands of questions that my son asks me about volcano after hearing about it in news or somewhere else in TV. I will be able make a volcano with him & show him the lava - i think being 6 , he will be able to do it himself and explain it to me.

  3. The Magic Science. I have a feeling my nephew will be getting his invite to Hogwarts soon, so it will be good if he has had some exposure to magic before he arrives.
