What to have - heavy paper, such as card stock - stapler - powdered drink mix - water - paintbrushes
What to do Create a story with pictures that might be represented by a flavor of powdered drink mix, perhaps a bunch of grapes, cherries, or lemons. Then mix a packet of powdered drink mix with two tablespoons of water to create a thick paint. Let children paint the pictures in the book with the mix, and allow them to dry. Later, when the children scratch the picture, they will be able to smell the scent.
Why Promotes sensory-motor skills, predicting, cause and effect, and creative thinking.
