How is the joy to see your son making is own volcano and enjoying it
The National Geographic Ultimate Volcano Kit has been a fantastic educational experience for my son and me! We had so much fun learning about volcanoes while creating our very own erupting volcanoes at home.This kit is a perfect combination of science and fun. It includes everything you need to create an erupting volcano, which helped my children understand how volcanoes work in a really engaging way. The instructions are clear, and the process is easy to follow, even for younger kids.Quality Materials: The materials included (like plaster, baking soda, and a safe, non-toxic volcano mold) are high-quality and make the entire experiment feel like a mini science project. The volcano is sturdy and can withstand multiple eruptions.Educational Content: The kit includes a small booklet with fun facts about volcanoes, how they form, and how eruptions occur. It’s educational without being too complicated, and my kids loved learning about real-life volcanoes.

Educational and Fun, but Be Prepared for a Mess!
I bought the National Geographic Volcano Making Kit for my daughter, and she absolutely loved it! The instructions were clear, and it was exciting to watch her engage with the science behind volcanic eruptions. The kit is both fun and educational, making it a great choice for kids who enjoy hands-on activities.That said, be sure to put the volcano on a baking sheet or other surface that’s easy to clean. The eruption process can get a little messy, with colored “lava” spilling over the sides. We didn’t think of this initially and had a bit of a cleanup on our hands. Lesson learned!Overall, I highly recommend this kit for kids—it’s a fantastic way to spark curiosity about science and geology. Just plan ahead for the mess, and you’ll have a blast!

Great product, but I don't recommend using the pop crystals.
My 4-year-old and I had a lot of fun making this. Besides teaching him about volcanoes, it also helped instill patience, waiting for the volcano to dry, then painting and waiting again. The only downside was that when we used the pop crystals, the paint started to peel off. Otherwise, it's a great product. The photo is after we used the pop crystals.

Fun but...
I give this five stars, because it is a lot of fun, but there are some things you should be aware of. You will have to help your kid with this project. This is not something that young kids can do independently. The first of which is the kit comes with powdered plaster and a mold and you have to make the volcano so it is time consuming and there is a little bit of a mess Factor. Additionally, once you've made the mold and painted it, and you're ready to set off your volcano, the volcano lava does stain. Stain. We did our eruption in the street in front of our house and it looked like a small animal had been run over because there was a big red stain in the asphalt. It was there for a couple months already before it finally faded away. Last thing you should know is when you do your eruption, the lava will cause the paint to run a little and fade a lot. Other than that, it's exactly like you would imagine. It was a lot of fun for the kids, it comes with a little information booklet thing that tells you all about volcanoes. So well the mold is setting or the paint is drying. You have some reading material to get them hyped up about the big volcano eruption. As long as you're aware of those things and know what you're getting into, I would definitely recommend this item.

The house is lava!
I got these for my two boys, 3.5 and 9. Little one was so excited to make it erupt! However, life said you have to plaster of Paris the volcano moulding and wait 1-2 days for it to harden. Luckily only took less than a day. Then you paint it and have to let it dry again. It’s going to be super cool I hope!!Long story short: Just know the time frame everything takes bc the little ones get kind of bummed after the moulding wait

Good product, terrible shipping
I purchased the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Ultimate Volcano Kit as a birthday gift for my friend's kid, excited about its educational value and fun. Unfortunately, the product arrived damaged due to poor shipping packaging, which seems to be ever more common with Amazon. The box was crushed, and it's contents were loose in the shipping bag. This was disappointing, especially since it was intended as a gift. While the kit itself seems promising for learning about volcanoes, I suggest improving the shipping method to prevent such mishaps in the future.
