I have come up with so many cool ways to support children as they learn about herbs for healing. Recipes, craft projects, resource lists, activities, themes, and age appropriate approaches. On any page (including this one ) you will see my category list towards the bottom following the posts. Click on the one labeled fledglings (for kids).

Enjoy!
