Take a smelling walk around the house with your child. Try putting your nose up close to some common household items and smelling closely. Try smelling a bar of soap together, and then a piece of fruit like an orange or melon.

Try to describe what they smell like. Which smells do you like best?

Remind your child that some things, like household cleaners, aren't safe to smell.
