Kids Bedtime Spray

I recently hosted a Back to School Make and Take and one of the things we made were bedtime sprays. We had two options for them to choose from. They were also invited to decorate the bottle with stickers, markers, etc. to make it their very own.

A good nights sleep is a great way to help your little one start their day. Some kids have problems falling asleep because of fears.  Monsters or other nighttime fears can be hard to rationalize with little ones. I have found its better to acknowledge the fear and give them something to help overcome it. Monster spray can be a great help here! White angelica has really helped our family in this area. Lavender and white angelica is what I used with my little guy when he was waking in the middle of the night with night terrors. He loved to spray it on his pillow and blanket and he no longer woke screaming in the night. (happy mama)

Some kids have trouble staying asleep or may wake up really early. Cedarwood is a great scent and can help extend the sleep cycle.  I really have fallen in love with it. In fact, lavender and cedarwood is what I use nightly in my diffuser. (You don't have a diffuser? Then, we need to talk!)

Monster Away Spray or Sleep Spray:

1.  place 2-3 drops glycerin in bottle

2.  10 drops of lavender

your choice of:

o    5 drops of White Angelica (monster) or

o    5 drops of Cedarwood (extended sleep)

3.  add approx 1 ounce distilled or purified water

4.  top off with approx. 1 ounce witch hazel or 100 proof alcohol

5.  add top and shake well

6.  decorate sticker and add to bottle!

7.  spray on linens (or monsters) before bed

Involve your kids in making it and I hope you enjoy a restful night sleep!
