Do this with an adult
With an adult, put a few kitchen smells into small cups. Try mint leaves, orange peel, a curry leaf and a slice of ginger. Cover each cup with paper and poke a few small holes in it. Close your eyes and sniff each cup. Can you guess them all? Never sniff or taste anything you do not know.
