Sometimes as a way to relax, my children use flower petals in the bath. It not only looks amazing but smells great too. We mostly use dried Rose petals, but this time I am adding dried Calendula petals. Lavender works well too! If I am having a flower bath, I will add Epsom salts and essential oils. You can add these to a children’s bath but have to be careful that the water is not ingested. In our case, my youngest still on occasion drinks bath water and as my children often share a bath, I don’t want to risk it at this point.
Next I think I may use some of these dried rose petals to make rose flower water to be used as a toner and maybe use some of the Calendula flowers to make a healing cream.
