Little Lemon

 Little one loves lemon...

...and making us laugh!

O asks for lemons on a daily basis now. 

She walks to the fridge, makes a sour face and starts thrusting her tongue out. As soon as she see's us reach for a lemon, she smiles. 

Then the show begins. 

I think she loves getting us to laugh as much as she loves the action her tastebuds experience!

EXPAND ON TASTE SENSATIONS

Sweet, Salty, Bitter & Sour: Introduce your child to the four main tastes (there are six in total, according to most cultures). Look at diagrams of the tongue and what happens when the sample is placed on the area it effects. Talk about facial expressions connected to tastes. Photograph and identify.

EXPAND ON THE SENSES

A Nose Knows: Montessori-inspired 'sniff' jars are a great tool to get in tune with your sense of smell. You can create homemade 'sniff' jars by making a felt cover or use a toilet paper roll to hide the spice contained. Encourage your child to sniff near, not directly over the jar!
