Learning about herbs
Learning about herbs can be a lot of fun for children and helps them to appreciate and understand the importance of plant life. We learned how to make salad dressing and sun tea using Chamomile, Mint, and Lemon Balm. We learned that Wooly Lamb's Ear was used in the past as a band-aide (some played doctor and had "band-aides" all over :) ). We learned that Peppermint is great worn as a bracelet to keep bugs away. We also smelled a bunch of herbs and tried to identify what they were.
