Bear in the Big Blue House Season 3 Episode 12 Smellorama

Bear in the Big Blue House was a popular children's television series that aired on Disney Channel from 1997 to 2006. The show featured a large brown bear named Bear, who lived with his friends Tutter the mouse, Ojo the bear cub, Pip and Pop the otters, and Treelo the lemur.

Season 3 episode 12 titled "Smellorama" is focused on Bear and his friends's love for the smells all around the Big Blue House. The episode takes the viewers on a sensory adventure as Bear and his friends try to identify different scents and study their properties.

At the beginning of the episode, Bear greets the viewers and informs them that they are in for a treat today. As he starts to talk, he is distracted by a strong smell. He realizes that the source of the smell is from Ojo's cheese sandwich, which he sniffs out of curiosity.

This prompts him to take the opportunity to learn about the sense of smell, and he begins to plan a "smellorama," where they will explore different smells that exist in the Big Blue House. He shares his idea with his friends and asks them to gather different things that have interesting smells.

First on their list is the garden, where they pick flowers and herbs to sniff. Bear also teaches his friends about the sense of taste and how it is related to smell.

Their next stop is the kitchen, where they sample different spices and herbs and describe their flavors and scents. They also learn about taste buds and how they work.

The group proceeds to explore more smells across the Big Blue House, including shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, and even a skunk's scent that had wafted in from outside.

As they investigate these smells, Bear and his friends begin to understand that every smell is unique and has its own properties, like how some smells can make you happy, while others can make you feel sick or uncomfortable.

In the end, Bear concludes the episode by reminding his friends (and the viewers) that even though we cannot always see or touch something, it doesn't mean that it is not important. He emphasizes the value of our sense of smell and how it helps us to experience the world around us in a more meaningful way.

Overall, "Smellorama" is a fun and educational episode that teaches children about the sense of smell and how it works, while also highlighting the importance of experiencing the world through all of our senses. The episode is light-hearted and fun, with plenty of humor and interesting characters to keep the young viewers engaged.
