We were forced to stay inside one day, due to rain, so we decided to make some Orange Dreamsicle playdough. We used DoTerra's Citrus Bliss essential oil and some orange food coloring. Oh my....
Friday, we did a little Mother's Day project, inspired by Mama Rosemary.
The children helped make a salt dough, using lavender essential oil as well as dried lavender.
Whoops!
Then they rolled and patted and cut out hearts ad flowers.
They added their fingerprints!
And like usual, we had hours and hours of fun outside!
Snapped as one little girl was tumbling down the hill!

Lovely idea to mix the lavender flowers in with the dough. Must try it!
ReplyDeleteThose turned out great! I haven't made salt dough, although it is on my to do list. Glad I saw this first so I can add the lovely lavender! Pinning it so I don't forget.

Oh my goodness what super fun for those lucky kiddos! Of course, I love the salt dough prints! : ) Is that some kind of lizard in one of the kid's hands? So cool!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing on Natural Living Monday!
Love those hills! And the ornaments are beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteSalt dough is so fun for the kids. Mine like to use cookie cutters and make Christmas ornaments.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little salamander. Those hills look like they would be so much fun to roll down...maybe! Thanks for linking to the Outdoor Play Party.
