Surprise the children with scented play dough in the sensory center. Add extracts, oils or dried coffee grounds inside balls of play dough. Additionally, pour a sample amount of each scent on cotton balls. Place the cotton balls in small, clear applicator bottles and label them. Place the scented bottles near the play dough and encourage the children to match the play dough scent to the scented bottles.
