Hi Pauline, I do an activity for the sense of smell. I use small gauze jewellry bags and fill
them with different herbs and spices, and we guess
what each ingredient is. I just wash out bags and
change the ingredients for another time, my
residents enjoy this one. Marina

I have been in this field for close to 15 years. I came across your website initially because I was searching for a shared, personal forum with other professionals in my field that was not attached to random advertising and monthly fees. After discovering your website which hosted a forum that was exactly what I was looking for, as well as providing a mountain of resources that didn’t require you to follow several external links to get to, and to top it off no monthly recurring fee...Jackpot!
