Whenever we start discussing about the nose, one of the first activities that come to mind is a SMELLING activity, and this is just that!
We always give much importance to the primary colors and the different tastes, but we fail to realize that knowing the difference scents is also as important. Experts say that it is important to involve toddlers in sensory play that help develop their various senses, including the sense of smell. Difficulty smelling might mean there is something wrong.
The scent of an object also tells us if it is safe or not. Usually, stuff that smell bad are not to be eaten! Here is a fun activity that will practice the children’s scent of smell!
