can you help me with dd1's project? my minds a blank.....

[nailpolish]

they are doing 'the senses' and dd1 has to take something 'smelly' in to preschool. i assume it will be there all week while they do the project.

i cant think of anything

dd1 says a smelly sock but i htink all the other parents will think of that too

i dont think it has to be 'bad' smelly...

Piece of cheese?

Or if it can be nice what about a bar of fruity soap?

cheese
lemon
orange
perfume

Soap might be better if it's going to be on dispaly all week What about a Body Shop one - they are very fruity?

a smelly candle

would it be ok to take a piece of cheese tho' and leave it at the school all week? and i thought of perfume but i wouldnt want a 4 yr old squirting it in his eye!

vicks vapourub...that smell lasts for ages!

yes i like the idea of the bar of soap, ta

o hyes vicks vapo rub - i have a jar thats practically finished

a bath bomb?

a bar of choclate they can smell it then eat it thats 2 senses in one go (do i get a gold star for that one)

A smelly eraser?

probably too obvious, but something from the garden? a bit from a pine tree or something equally strong in smell

and a smiley face wurley

tiger, i wanted something from the garden, but couldnt think of anything, at this time of year

those horrible net bag things full of lavender that your grandparents put in their drawers? or moth balls/cedar balls for wardrobes?

any more ideas needed? brains going into overdrive thinking about 'smelly' things

an apple or a lemon? even something made of leather. i think that's better than something deliberatly scented.

i have some body shop soap and a near empty vicks jar, so ill let dd1 choose which one she prefers!

thanks for helping xx

uch dizzy bint now yiou are confusing me...

erm...

i have some garlic?

and a lemon?

leather gloves?

sorry! i just think it's nice if she sees things as naturally smelly, rather than taking in a scented candle or whatever that's been made to be smelly. i like heuristic play you see! up to you..it's just what i'd do.

is ok, dizzy, i agree with you
