Hello Bryony. I manage to include smell into my version of Eric Carle's The Tiny Seed. At the end when the beautiful big flower grows I use a large artificial (fabric) flower but I put some geranium aromatherapy oil on it before telling the story. Have to be careful not to make it too strong though so I just add the oil the evening before .
Kirsty E Smith oh that’s such a cool idea! And lots of our kids are v sensitive to smells, so I love how you’re making the most of that. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for all the inspiration Bryony! (And a giggle or two..!)
Always a pleasure ayshapaysha! :D
We heat bread up prior to reading The Little Red Hen do the warm bread smell captures interest. Of course we eat the bread at the end.
That is such a fun idea. It's on my list to make more bread this year, so I might just have to try this. Thanks for the suggestion!
Smell
Salt water spray for the sea
Fresh cut grass for going out to play
Fruits like bananas, strawberries , oranges can be added for smell ...and a bit of taste if you want ...?
Oh yes great idea!
The frame could be kept a bit larger
Smell - try eating a Jelly Bean, whilst pinching your nose and then release your nose pinch - olfactory voom!
I will definitely have to try this!
