How to make Smell Jars

Smell Jars


Ingredients:
empty containers such as pill bottles (I have a ton of these stashed under the sink by the bathrooms)
cotton balls
a hammer and a nail
extracts and spices

Directions:
1. You will need different extracts in a variety of scents. I have a ton so just ask and I will bring them.

2. Put the cotton ball in the plastic container. (NOTE: If you do not have cotton balls, you can also use small pieces of paper towels.)

3. Saturate the wet cotton ball (or paper towel) with a spice, extract, or scented oil.

4. Seal the pill bottle or container with lid.

5. Take the hammer and nail and punch a hole in the top pull out the nail and your done.

6. Introduce to children and enjoy! This is a fun way to teach children about their nose and sense of smell.

** You can use simple extracts like vanilla, raspberry, strawberry etc.
*** you can use essential oils like tea tree oil, lavender etc.
**** you can use spices like cinnamon, cumin, basil etc


How to make Sound Jars

Use Pill bottles or other securely sealed small container and add material ingredients that will make different sounds use only one material in each bottle such as:

Beans
popcorn kernels
rice
beads
gravel
sand
flour
water
Any other ideas?

Add these ingredients singularly (each bottle only has one ingredient)in bottles I make two of each so that the kids can match the sounds. Let the children shake and listen to the bottles and then match up the sounds in the bottles.
