Strong, stinky scents

My five year old loves scented markers, and I thought that Silly Scents Stinky markers would be an interesting twist on the usual sweet scents. These are great quality scented markers with strong, unique scents.

We smelled each of them together and talked about the smells. My son thinks the cough syrup is sweet and not stinky, and I agree that it smells good but I also always liked grape cough syrup. We also didn't mind the smell of bacon, although it doesn't smell as good as fresh bacon. I also thought grass smells good, but my son wasn't so sure and decided to smell the grass outside today to compare. The other scents are genuinely "Phew!" stinky, ranging from just a little eww to almost gagging. Moldy sponge and BBQ Grill were our least favorites, but we got a chance to talk about how people can perceive things differently. My son was still talking about these the next morning and wanted to take them to school with him, so they might be fun for show and tell later on in the year.

Some of the stronger scents are still noticeable hours later if you sniff the paper they are used on, but unless you are putting your nose up close, you probably won't notice. My son will still use these to draw and write. I'm happy I bought them, but they were a novelty purchase so I wouldn't purchase them again.
