027 - Bath bombs / sensory games / edible paint / play-doh / dinosaurs
Another Wednesday, another day of Dadpluskids sensory play. Today we concentrate on scent for the kiddos, and this one could get really funny if you have a kid with a wicked sense of humour. So let's dive in.

Scented fizzing rainbows is almost like a bath bomb but not. Check out the rainbow science experiments from fun a day for a full list of ingredients and a video instruction video.

Lavender sensory rice is a great little way to calm your kids naturally. The smell is relaxing, the touch is fun, and it's pretty to look at. This is easy to make. You apply the same technique as above with the rice and add a few drops of lavender essential oil or fresh lavender to add the scent.

I used to love the smell of play-doh as a kid, even as an adult. The scent changed, though, as it turns out, that was toxins. You can give your kids a great smelling play-doh experience by making your own. Childhood 101 has a recipe and video over on their page, and you can personalise the scents your kid likes best.
