FISH & CHIPS SENSORY PROP
Splash salt and vinegar onto a sheet of newspaper, then let the newspaper dry. Heat a wheat bag, then wrap the warm wheat bag in newspaper. The warmth of the wheat bag will release the scent of salt and vinegar from the paper, and when held in hands, it will feel and smell like a warm bag of fish and chips brought at the Seaside. For a taste sensation, Salt & Vinegar Chipsticks are an excellent alternative to real chips for your learners to taste and enjoy.
