Magic Herb Pouch

Children love to exercise their sense of smell, and this is a perfect way to do it!  Assemble a variety of pieces of scented herbs (lavender, lemon balm, anise-hyssop, thyme, marjoram etc.), and let children select which ones they want to use in their pouches.  They can snip pieces and put them into their magic herb pouch.  They can smell their pouch throughout the day, or place them under their pillows at night for calming and a sense of comfort.
