But for larger groups, use slides. See the introductory page for Slideas. Music is the universal language. Without saying a word, it can remind us of the occasions of our lives - the events, the celebrations, the transitions. We include scented stickers in several of our kits.
People scratch, sniff, and remember.
Food provides some of the programming opportunities that are the most fun - and the most involving. Our program manuals suggest things to taste to remember the kit topic. And there are recipes for things to make and eat - corn dogs to remember county fairs, butternut squash soup for fall. Things to touch. To touch is to make a connection - with an item or texture, with the person passing the object, and perhaps with the memory of a time or a place or an event long since forgotten.
