Despite taking many science classes during school and completing at least 4-5 science fair projects, I cannot recall ever seeing the classic volcanic eruption demonstration.<\/p>\n

My younger self, and inner kid, was\/is severely disappointed.<\/p>\n

There is a sweet spot, say 6-12 years old, where the simple chemical reaction can trigger wide-eyed amazement. I cannot personally experience that unadulterated joy. But, that doesn’t stop me from still appreciating them.<\/p>\n

Volcano kits are not required, as you may be able to create a volcanic eruption with on-hand household items. Particularly if you have vinegar and baking soda laying around.<\/p>\n

For example, Instructables has easy-to-follow directions here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, volcano kits often provide some extra touches to the volcano-making process (e.g., providing tools to make the volcano appear more life-like through paints).<\/p>\n

We’ve narrowed down possible selections to the following list of three best volcano kit for kids. Let us know in the comments if you agree or disagree.<\/p>\n

The other two volcano kits listed on this page are fine alternatives.<\/p>\n

But, Scientific Explorer has taken the (volcanic) cake as the best volcano kit for kids with their Mind Blowing Science Kit, which includes almost all the needed components to make a volcano (just add water and flour).<\/p>\n

The benefit of the My First Mind Blowing Science Kit is that it provides great, easy-to follow directions<\/a> and useful, “scientific” pieces like pipets.<\/p>\n

Moreover, it provides 10 projects in addition to the volcano eruption..<\/p>\n
