Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses and methods for teaching a person, particularly a child, to identify an object associated with a scent. The object can be any substance, material or thing, such as root beer, banana, vanilla or mint, having an identifiable scent. The apparatus includes at least one scented device, which is most preferably a playing card. Also included as part of the apparatus is indicia of the identity of the object. The indicia of identity may be located anywhere, such as on a sheet of paper, board or container, but is preferably located on the device at a position where it cannot be readily detected by someone smelling the device. Optionally, the apparatus also includes indicia of one or more clues of the identity of the object and/or indicia of one or more things related to the object. One method by which a person uses the apparatus is by smelling the device and guessing the identity of the object.
