Bobby and Lenny's Erupting Volcano Our Family

That's it. Very good.

Bobby and Lenny are feeling crafty.

They're making a volcano with plastic bottles and paper.

What we need to do next, boys, is quite messy.

Dad's helping.

-You all right with that one, yeah?

-I like messy.

Tear bits up, about this size. Here, Len. Curl it up into a ball.

Bobby, put yours, mix it in the mixture.

-Dad, is that big enough?

-That's it, great. Mix it in.

Squish the paper and glue together.

Now put your bit round here.

-Right, down there. Fill all the spaces.

-Is that right?

-Yeah, that's great.

-I'll put this here.

-What sort of noises does a volcano make?

-Like this!

Pshhhh!

Great volcano noise, Bobby!

Strips of paper make a smooth papier-mache surface.

Well done then. Put your hands in the glue.

Rub them together and then smooth it over.

That's very good. Smooth it over the whole lot, Len.

-So there's lava under the ground and...

-That's it.

..and it goes over here and...

And it comes out the top. That's right.

Bobby knows a lot about volcanoes.

The boys will have to leave the volcano to dry for a while.

And now it has. They can paint it.

Do you think we should do one side blue and one side green?

Start about here.

All the way around here up to that sea, yeah?

This volcano has the sea on one side and grass on the other.

What sort of animals live in the grass?

-Worms.

-Worms?

-Yeah.

-What about tigers?

-Yeah.

-And lions.

-Elephant?

-Yeah.

-And grasshoppers.

-Maybe.

-Yeah.

-Monkeys.

-Monkeys. You're a little monkey.

A few finishing touches.

Finished.

Dad's adding some kitchen ingredients to make pretend lava,

including food colouring.

Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!

Look at that! Look at the lava, look!

Look, look at that big bubble on the top!

Oh, pop it, pop the bubble!

I think we've nearly run out.

How about some orange food colouring?

-And now it looks like real fire.

-Does it?

-Looks really good, doesn't it?

-Really cool.

-I think it's amazing.

-Wow!
