the sense of smell part 1

For this sense I devise a matching game. I collected a few of the same containers over a short period of time (I chose to keep Actimel empty bottles). The important thing is that they are all identical containers. I chose some strong, quite easily recognizable smells, such as mint leaves, coffee, cinamon, cumin, dry herbs. I put the same smell in two containers to form a couple. I asked M. to have a good smell inside the containers and I told her the name of each thing she was smelling. Then I asked her to close her eyes and try and match the smell of the bottle she has in her hand by smelling all the bottles until she would find the right one. As I wanted to keep the smells for her to repeat the exercise when she likes, I covered the containers with cling film, put a rabber bend around the neck of the bottle and made a few holes on the cling film with a tooh-pick
