ACTIVITY:

Montessori Smelling Jars
MATERIALS: image

Two wooden boxes each containing six smelling bottles each

The six, paired Smelling bottles, contain a different smelling essence, e.g. teatree, lavender water, etc.
OBJECTIVES:

To develop a sensorial awareness of smell.

CONTROL OF ERROR:

The bottom of the bottles can be coded-coded to provide a control of error. The inside of the lids are coloured in a similar way to prevent the wrong lids being replaced on the wrong bottles and so mixing up the smells.
AGE: 3 – 6 years approx.
