Scent Jars for Sensory

Today I made six scent jars. This is a really inexpensive way to meet the sensory needs of some of our students. I got a six pack of small plastic jars at Dollarama ($3.50) The lids were very thin and I easily poked two holes in them with a small screwdriver. I asked the other teachers in my schools if they had any extracts at home I could borrow. My co-workers came through well and I only had to buy cinnamon sticks ($1.50). So I made these for around $5.

The scents I used were:

• Cinnamon sticks
• Vanilla extract
• Orange extract
• Lemon extract
• Imitation coconut
• Imitation maple

We placed a few drops on cotton balls and placed them in containers.
