How to Use
Fill each bottle with a distinct scent (e.g., citrus, floral, herbal). Present the bottles in pairs and invite the child to match identical scents using only their sense of smell. The visual control of error (black vs. white caps) supports self-correction. Rotate scents periodically to keep the activity fresh and challenging.
