Smelling And Tasting Fresh And Bagged Coconut

Materials Needed:
Coconut (bagged and fresh)
Bowls (2)
Spoons (2)
Paper towels

What to Do:
Place a scoop of fresh coconut in a bowl and a scoop of bagged coconut in a different bowl.
Invite the children to pass the bowls around and smell each one.  
Ask the children, “Do they smell the same or different?”
Instruct each child to wash their hands and then place a small bit of coconut onto a paper towel or plate for each child and invite them to taste both the fresh and the bagged coconut.
Ask each child “Which one do you like best?”.
