Scratch and Sniff Watercolor Paintings
Materials:
  • Paper
  • Kool-Aid
Directions:
  • Mix Kool-Aid with water (about two tablespoons). Then let the children paint with the mixture. After the painting dry you have great scratch and sniff pictures.
  • Warning: Kool-Aid can stain clothes, tables, and floors


Smelling Scents
Put different scents (peppermint, garlic, strawberry, lemon, vanilla, etc) on several cotton balls and place then in separate plastic containers with tops. Have children guess what they are.

Smell Song
Oh, with your nose what do you smell?
Oh, with your nose what do you smell?
Oh, tell me what do you smell with your nose? (let children answer)
Oh, with your nose what do you smell?

Smelly Jars
Put holes in small jars. Fill the jars with cotton balls and smelly substances (cinnamon, baby powder, garlic, vinegar, coffee, lemon, Kool-Aid, Hot cocoa, etc). Let the children guess what the smells are. Additionally you can ask them what the material is used for.
