This is a sensory story to understand and learn about what a tree does over the course of a day. Prepare the props and follow the story to deliver an engaging experience.
Before you start you will need
- Make up the smell experience. The smell of tannin can be recreated with an old piece of leather or by using plain Listerine mouthwash on a piece of cotton pad in a small pot
- For the taste experience we recommend vegan, gluten free berry gummies. You could also use sugared water or juice and use a pipette to drip onto the young person’s lips
- Red acetate
- Something to represent a caterpillar or a soft toy caterpillar
- Something to represent carbon dioxide and oxygen (we used the chemical symbols in the form of 3D letters mounted on board)
