Do your kids love smells? Are they curious about how to make their very own scents? Or maybe just interested to learn how orange is different from lime and how strawberry is different from peach? Join me for a two-hour kids perfume and design workshop! Kids will learn about 12 different scents that occur in nature, smelling the natural essential oils connected to these botanical materials. We will make our own roller perfume or room spray, create personal labels and perfume cards, and design our own bag to carry the personalized scent in.
