A Lesson in Spices

I had MD test smell various spices and then categorize them depending on whether he liked the smell or not.  The silly guy only had one bottle on the side of smells he liked:  Garlic.  Weird.

After this, I sprinked a few of the spices and some poppy seads for him to look at through a magnifying glass.  I'm looking forward to doing some nature walks so he can look at bugs and plants with the magnifying glass.  But the wheather is so cold and wet here right now that spices will have to do. . . .  He is really liking the magnifying glass and has gone around the house looking at things through it stating they are now "grande" (big).
