Whitney ran into my friend Jeanine outside her house. Jeanine was helping her daughter, Pepper, touch some furry lavender sticking out from Whitney’s garden, and didn’t realize whose house it was. The girls had been going on a sensory tour of the neighborhood.
Try it yourself to keep the neighborhood walks interesting:
- Stop and smell the flowers
- Lean in so baby can touch a fuzzy leaf
- Look at the bright colors and shadows
- Step on crunchy leaves and sticks, rustle paper or candy wrappers (err, I mean Luna Bar)
- Are you eating or drinking something baby can share?

I did something like this with our first son. I would walk all over our garden and let him smell the lavender, lemon verbena, oregano etc. when he was just a little baby. He’s now two and going outside to pick things to smell is one of his favorite activities.
