Lesson Plan 3 - About me.
Smelling Game.
Without your toddler seeing collect some strong smelling safe ingredients from your home.
Either blindfold your toddler or if they resist this ask them to shut their eyes.
Pour out a little of one of the ingredients onto a teaspoon.
Hold it gently under your toddlers nose and ask them to smell it.
