For a few weeks, at least, I’m going to test your patience and blur blog boundaries and remind you of the fun things happening over on Bobbledy. A couple of weeks ago, we started hosting a theme of the week. Last week was beavers. This week is volcanoes. Every day but Sunday, we post interesting facts, figures, and photos (at least we think so) on the theme. Saturday is facts and figures. Monday is a story by Matthew. Tuesday is a drawing by Robbi. And Wednesday is a quiz to test your knowledge of the topic.
Today, being Wednesday, I encourage you to head on over to Bobbledy and see if you really know volcanoes. If you get all five questions right, pat yourselves on the back. I only got 2 right, and I had to guess on those. I am not ashamed to admit it.
Here is an actual volcano.
And here is a volcano by Robbi.
If you are so moved, you may head on over to Ebay, where this sucker can currently be had for only 2 pennies.
And, as a special bonus, if you are itching to make your very own volcano with stuff that you probably have lying around the house, check out this step-by-step tutorial by Robbi.
Within minutes your children (or cats, dogs, ferrets, elderly live-in parents) can be just as delighted as the children pictured below.
Can I have a shout out for volcanoes?
