Taste

Play the taste game.

Have a selection of foods that your child is happy to eat eg chocolate, flavoured crisps, cheese, banana, yogurt etc

Encourage your child to close their eyes and give them something to taste.

Can they describe the taste? Is it sweet, salty, sour, bitter?

Smell

Play 'Guess the Smell' game.

Have some things for your child to smell eg mint toothpaste, coffee, chocolate, an orange or lemon etc.

Encourage your child to close their eyes and try to guess what they are smelling.
