Essential Oil Spritzers & Mud Baths

Last week at play group parents enjoyed making essential oil spritzers while the kids trotted some animals through 'mud'.

We ordered boxes of 2 ounce amber glass spray bottles, essential oil mixes and waterproof labels.
You will also need distilled water, witch hazel, a small funnel and fine tip permanent markers.

Pour 3 Tablespoons distilled water and 2 teaspoons of witch hazel through your funnel into the bottle. Remove the funnel and place about 8 drops of essential oil into the top of the spray bottle. Replace top and decorate a label. So easy! A great holiday gift or a treat for yourself.

The kids were given coffee ground play dough and a plate of brown paint and a variety of toy animals with realistic foot prints.

Some of the paint even made it's way to the mud. All around an easy, open ended activity.

The following week we made sugar scrub with the remainder of our essential oils

Kids and parents measured 1/2 cup of sugar and 3 Tablespoons of coconut oil and mixed in a bowl with a large craft stick.

Then add about 8 drops of your essential oil and fill your jar. We used a 4 ounce jelly jar and had a bit of scrub left over in the bowl.
Needless to say, our office smelled amazing at the end of the evening.
