What better way is there to celebrate this season of giving than spending precious time making simple herbal gifts with your children.
Children love being creative and giving gifts they have made.
They use wholesome ingredients, entice all the senses, and create a bond with the natural world. Herbal pillows have many different uses, depending on the herbs used to fill them. Sew a small pillow and stuff it with an aromatic mixture of rose, lavender and chamomile to use for a relaxing eye pillow and to put by your face while drifting off to sleep. Or try a combination of kitchen spices such as cloves, cinnamon, orange peel, basil, and thyme to use under a hot tea mug or casserole. The heat then releases the scent into the air.
