Activity What is inside Part 2
Episode Number:
003 
Have you ever heard, “It’s what’s on the inside that counts”? Here’s an experiment to do with your children that will prove just that.
Take three balloons that are the same size. Smash up some garlic and put it into one balloon, blow it up and tie it off. Put some perfume into another balloon, blow it up and tie it off. Blow up the third balloon and tie it off.
Next set the balloons near a light bulb. After a half hour, check to see if you can smell a difference between the three balloons. What is on the inside of the balloons, will begin to seep through the pores of the balloon and diffuse into the air.
Questions to ask your children:
What do you think the balloons represent? (Humans)
What do you think the garlic represents? (Bad attitudes, anger, bitterness, hatred)
What do you think the perfume represents? (Good attitudes, kindness, love, forgiveness)
What do you think the air represents? (Indifference, fence-sitting)
What do you think the light bulb/heat represents? (Tough times in life)
We might look the same, but inside of us is something that may smell bad, good or like nothing. During our lives, we will put off an odor. Sometimes it is faint, but when we go through tough times in our life, what is inside of us really comes to the surface.
When we learn to be kind, loving and forgiving, our pores produce a sweet aroma that will attract people into our lives. What kind of aroma do you want to produce today? What can you do to make sure you produce it?
Do the activity with your children and then come back and leave a comment on how it went.
