Original Prompt

Student workbook for four stations where they can record their answers with these stations: 🌼 Station 1: What Is Tea? Focus: Introduction & observation Supplies: Clear jars or cups with dry tea (herbal, caffeine-free) Chamomile Peppermint Rooibos Fruit tea Magnifying glasses Picture cards showing tea plants / herbs Paper & crayons Kids do: Look, smell (no tasting yet), draw what they see. 👃 Station 2: Smell & Guess Focus: Sensory exploration Supplies: Small containers

In this engaging learning activity, participants will become 'tea detectives' as they explore various types of herbal teas using their five senses. The activity consists of four interactive stations: 1) Sight, where participants observe the colors and shapes of tea leaves; 2) Smell, which invites them to identify the aromas of different teas; 3) Touch, allowing them to feel the textures of dry tea leaves; and 4) Taste, where they will sip and evaluate the flavors of the tea. Each station encourages observation, interaction, and artistic expression, culminating in a tea art project where participants paint using brewed tea.
