Herbal Activities for Kids by Molly Meehan Brown

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is full of mindful herbal activities that keep you grounded and present by tapping into all of the 5 senses. It's also a great way to introduce little ones to the herbal world of healing and crafts through nature.

So why this book? Bonding with nature and engaging in crafts plays a crucial role in fostering a balanced mind-body-soul connection, promoting healing, and nurturing the inner child. Nature provides sense of peace and tranquility that reduces stress and enhances mental clarity, while crafting with natural elements cultivate emotional healing and a sense of wonder.

The Review:

🎨 Although the author labels this as a children’s book, my inner child is BEGGING me to do each and every one of these activities! This isn’t just for kids - it’s for any nature-lover that wants to unite their creative side with plants.

Each page is curated with, with images and illustrations, directions, tips and fun facts. There are 50 activities, each very worthy of making it into the book.

A sampling of my favorite features:

• Nature mandalas

• Kitchen scrap gardening

• Elderberry syrup

• Fairy Berry tea

• Fire Cider

• Herbal pizza

• Bee Balm ice pop

• Lemon Balm lip balm

• Mugwort dream portal

• Plant wind chimes

🌼 The author’s passion for herbalism really shines through as she shares how to build relationships between plants, land and people by tuning into nature’s rhythms and cycles.

👧🏻 These crafts, recipes and projects are SO perfect for me, that I really must beg the author to strike-through the part of the title that says “for kids.” Or, at least change it to say “for kids and your inner child”…?

📖 I need a hard copy of this book so I can take it out to my garden with me and start crafting. This one is worth it’s weight, y’all. Buy the book!

📌 I plan to try some of these soon. I’ll post to my blog www.hippie-blossom.com if you want to subscribe for updates.

A heartfelt thanks to NetGalley, my favorite Storey Publishing (who always publishes the BEST books), the author Molly Meehan Brown and all of her contributing friends for allowing me a complimentary ARC to review. It’s been my pleasure, and I hope to get my hands on a hard copy soon! 💕
