Scratch and Sniff Book

To go along with our Duck Theme,

We made our own scratch and sniff book.

I got this idea from A Teacher At Heart

Who made tactile letters out of dirt.

First we read Watch as I Grow: Duck

To learn about the life cycle of a duck.

With Miss Sassy's help we came up

With what to draw in our own book.

I let her illustrate with glue.

And then pour on Peach Jell-O

It was amazing to watch it turn orange.

We actually just used sugar for the Egg stage.

We let it dry, and drew on a beak or two

And then we read it.

This is an organic moment (aka not instigated by mom)

Where she sat down and read her book to baby H.

She loved smelling the pages.

Although, I don't think ducks smell like Peach Jell-O.
