The amazing sensory tangerine!

Timescale:
20-30 mins
Materials:
Tangerines, cloves, anything else you want to use. (Adult supervision definitely required!)
Step 1:
Really easy...stick the cloves into the tangerine in any order (also anything else you want...) to produce a lovely smelling tactile Christmas object.
Step 2:
Try threading a really large needle with ribbon and threading through the tangerine - tie the ends together and hang on the Christmas tree.
Handy hints:
You can put a few smelly items in a stocking and tie to make a larger or more tactile object if you wish.
Make sure your materials are non-toxic.
Don't leave children alone to do this activity.
Take care with sharp objects.
Please read the Things you need think about first section section before you prepare for this activity.
