Introducing Scent and Smell to Toddlers: Fun Preschool Activities
Exploring the Sense of Smell in Toddlers
So, how can you introduce scent and smell to toddlers in a fun and engaging way? One idea is to create a 'scent station' with various smells, such as vanilla, lavender, or citrus. You can also incorporate scent-based games, like 'Smell and Find,' where children have to identify different smells and find the corresponding object. Other activities, such as making playdough with essential oils or creating a scent-themed sensory bin, can provide hours of entertainment and education for your little ones.
