Our Volcano Dioramas

Volcanoes are fascinating and we have learned interesting facts about them.  We also enjoyed making a diorama to show a scene of a volcano erupting.  Using a square card, we folded and painted it to form the sky in the background and the earth below. The mountain was made by adding layers of paper mache on a paper cup which we painted brown.  Red paint was added to depict the lava and orange, red and yellow cellophane was glued on top. The addition of some bark and paper grass with a little dinosaur made the diorama look more authentic.  We enjoyed showing these at our Junior Assembly on Friday.

Making our volcanoes by coating a paper cup with strips of icky sticky glued paper.  Messy but fun!
