Resources

Bowl, water, glitter, natural materials, spoons, lavender or any essential oil that your child may like. 

This potion can be made using materials from inside our outside in nature

Either way go on a walk with your child either inside or outside the house, collect all your materials

Lay them on a table or the floor

Place a bowl of water on the floor 

Talk about what type of potion you would like, what magic will it have, who will you give it too etc

Add the materials into the bowl and decide how best to use it – in a spray bottle, in a regular bottle, in a jar. Where is the best place to keep it? If it is to help keep you safe when you are in your bed, then maybe the bedroom is the best place. Take your child’s lead on this.

The clean up can be fun too, sharing the jobs of putting everything away and not being too rushed if possible.
