Activity guide for this page

Recommended age: Ages 6–10
Estimated time: 25–40 min
Difficulty: Medium
Areas to color: about 190

Coloring order

First, color the foaming volcano model on the tray: a brown body and flowing foam that blends orange and yellow.
Then color Nari's safety glasses and green jacket as she tilts the measuring cup, and Toto peeking from behind the clear shield.
Last, color the gray stones beside the tray, the trees behind and the grass, each in its own shade.

Questions to talk about

How far down the volcano do you think the foam will flow?
Why does Toto look so surprised behind the clear shield?
Have you ever seen something fizzing? What did it sound like?

Take it further

Show the moment a baking soda volcano erupts using paper. Tear red and orange paper and stick the scraps above the crater.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
