Magic Potions

Outdoor potion kitchens for children are a treasured place to create, imagine and play.

Creative play helps your child develop important thinking skills such as problem-solving and concentration.

Gather a small table, mixing bowls, cups, old cutlery, wooden spoons, whisks, funnels, muffin tins and a collection of buckets.

Metal, wood and stone objects are best and more sustainable. Visit your local Opportunity Shop or ask family to help gather these items.

Assist your child to collect lavender, rose petals, herbs (rosemary, thyme, or oregano) and leaves and have a bucket of water handy to begin. Be sure to not to collect plants that are poisonous.
