• Newspaper to finish volcano

shape

• Paper Mache glue e.g. pva to stick

newspaper

• Paint to colour after dry

•Sticky back plastic (if possible) to

cover the whole thing (except the vent in the top)

Get your glue ready.

UPVA mixed with water works well.

A paint tray makes it less messy

Roll balls of newspaper around in your glue

Build up your volcano from the base….. no rush, take your time !

Keep going until your volcano starts to take shape

Then you need thin strips of newspaper to neaten it all up

You can now mould your volcano to any shape you like

Make sure you leave the bottle opening free from paper

After you glue has dried (Overnight perhaps) Its ready for painting

Again the colours and style is up to you, remember all volcanoes are unique!

You can add texture, twigs for trees, moss for vegetation and even a few buildings nearby if you like

Your volcanoes will be photographed and posted onto the Geography Society blog & used during Open evening on 1st October… We will also use them during next week’s club.

You can base your volcano on a real volcano that has erupted…look online for photos!
