smell's nice

When Joshua was really little I made him these little smelling pouches out of squares of muslin and elastic bands. His face was a picture when I put them near his nose!!
they were filled with:
1. cinnamon
2. lavender
3. mixed herbs
4. Lemon peel
5. Vanilla extract

I also found these on http://shareandremember.blogspot.com

these would defo be better for older children.

I made my own recently in tiny little bottles. I soaked a cotton pad in each smell and stuffed it in the bottle
I used:
1. cinnamon and water
2. lemon juice  (dont use- it went mouldy)
3. orange essence
4. banana flavouring
5. peppermint essence

the only thing I will say about this is that if you store them all in the same place they all end up smelling of the same thing, or a mixture of all and the smells fade quite quickly so they need replacing or topping up regularly!

Have a go, and please share any that you find go down well!!!

Lots of love
