Dirty Fingers - Clean Hands

Children just love to get their fingers dirty. So why not get a couple of plain terra cotta pots, earth and plants for your balcony, garden or living room, and get started!

Make sure the kids can choose their own plant at the local flower shop. They love to make their own decisions and it makes it more fun for them.

You can also let them decorate the pot before planting the herbs, plants or flowers they chose. Lay down some newspaper, put the pots up side down and give your kids paintbrushes and water colour (the terra cotta absorbs the paint so the rain cannot wash it off). 

Your children are natural artists!

I say that they like to make their hands dirty but they also like to wash them afterwards. Their skin is thinner and more delicate than ours so chose a gentle soap. My son’s favourite is the rosemary-mint hand and body wash from AVEDA. It contains organic rosemary and mint which both are natural antisceptics.
