Emotion Explosion

This is a wonderful activity for both fine and gross motor skills, getting the large arm muscles working, and hand-eye coordination (pouring).

Materials

On each toilet paper roll, using a different color per roll, draw an expression to match the color.
Line them up over parchment paper. Place hot glue around the edge of the toilet paper roll and adhere it to the parchment paper.
Carefully scoop baking soda to fill the rolls halfway.
Add 3-5 drops of color dye on top of the baking soda.
Encourage your little one to pour the vinegar and name the emotion!
