Montessori Sensory Activities : Smelling Jars Montessori Activity

[monnymonti]

you can use any smell you like just dont use pepper!! I tend to buy smelly oils and put a few drops on cotton wool to place the wool in the container. Things like lemon, mint, lavendar. Ive also used some herbs and spices like cloves, ginger ect

even some flower petals while they are fresh are good or pot pourri a squirt of perfume is good too. alot of people use garlic i dont as cant stand the smell!
