The Ice Cream Volcano

Since we learned about volcanoes in our last weeks of school, we decided that this suggested activity would be a fun one.  We choose to wait until Nanny was visiting.  We allowed some ice cream to soften and then formed it into a volcano shape.  We set it back into the freezer for several hours.  Then I poured some cupcake flavored Magic Shell over the top.  It went back into the freezer for another two hours.  Finally, we took it out and added chocolate syrup and crushed cookies.  We talked about how a volcano is formed, and what the land could look like before and after the volcano erupted.  Of course, eating it was the most fun part of the project!
