I agree that DIY is definitely the way to go for smelling bottles at home.

Between the video, my training and various websites there is conflicting information as to the "correct" number of bottles, so my intention is to just chose a quantity that works for us and go from there. :)Counting Coconutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09417165680507471874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-31963951666639335872011-01-13T08:51:54.165-04:002011-01-13T08:51:54.165-04:00Love it!

She was a friend of Maria M and helped Montessori write the english programme.<br /><br />In the video on smelling bottles, she mentions to only use 3 or 4 matches. The website says, " If there are too many pairs, everything begins to smell the same."<br /><br />http://homepage.mac.com/montessoriworld/mwei/sensory/smell.html<br /><br />She also has another nifty idea to make small bags that you stuff into the bottles, with dried herbs, coffee, teas etc. Which I think add to making the work interesting and cyclable.<br /><br />Good work!<br />Hugs, <br />TraceyThe Hemleys Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288437547186385963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-74922708068869736902011-01-12T22:01:55.352-04:002011-01-12T22:01:55.352-04:00what a great idea!what a great idea!Miller Momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994619037840617955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-47424933966711106972011-01-12T16:11:22.733-04:002011-01-12T16:11:22.733-04:00Thanks Mari-Ann, I was planning on making my own t...Thanks Mari-Ann, I was planning on making my own too and really like yours for inspiration!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181462317632736175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-35226058612819798322011-01-12T13:40:04.186-04:002011-01-12T13:40:04.186-04:00What a great way to recycle all of those empty spi...What a great way to recycle all of those empty spice containers!
