Activités pour le Préscolaire: Guess what's inside: Sound shakers with plastic eggs - Devine ce qu'il y à l'intérieur: Oeufs sonores pour explorer le sens de l'ouïe

My 17 months old daughter has had a crazy fun time to play with them. She was taking two eggs at a time and was shaking them independently and banging them together.

The kids had a blast both mixing the spices and being the smell detective.

The kids discovered that only a tiny pinch of each spice was all that was needed to create their spicy mixture. I set out a container of coffee beans to reset the kids sense of smell. They were curious what would happen if they mixed three, four or more spices together. Did you know that you can erase your sense of smell? Pin by Rachel Wallace on Work. Painting with Spices.
