KIDS Recipes
Kids love essential oils! Maybe it’s the tiny, adorable bottles; or perhaps it’s the whole new world of scents to explore. No matter the reason, the littlest members of the family always pop up when it’s time to fill the diffuser. My Grandsons were filling their night time diffuser earlier than they could tie their shoelaces! ? From the time they wake up ‘til they’re singing the bedtime blues, these delightful concoctions are perfect for the pint-sized people in your life.
These essential oil blends for kids have been formulated for a general space; adjust drops to suit the size of your space. These quantities are also the perfect recipe to add to a roller bottle and top with a carrier oil.
Please refer to the Safety sheet before using essential oils.

Monsters be gone
Monsters just have to linger under that bed right when it is time for the little one to go down. This spray is a good routine and confidence builder for your little one. It is the only time I recommend a plastic bottle, so your little one can use it themselves safely. Get a sticky label and help them draw their monster, and give your kiddo back their power.
Ingredients
- 200ml spray bottle (plastic if desired)
- Pinch salt
- 3 drops lemongrass Wellness essential oil
- 3 drops bergamot Wellness essential oil

Top bottle with distilled or filtered water. Gently roll to combine. Spray and banish monsters forever.
