1. The Power of Play: Learning with Essential Oils

Let’s start where all great adventures begin—play! Teaching kids about essential oils can be both fun and educational. The Science for Kids Workbook is a hands-on, interactive way to introduce the science behind essential oils. Through age-appropriate activities, your child can explore how oils are extracted, how they support the body, and how to use them safely.

Want to make it even more engaging? Try this fun DIY Aromatherapy Playdough. It’s a sensory-rich craft that invites creativity while introducing calming or uplifting essential oils like Lavender, Wild Orange, or Peppermint.

3. Emotional Wellness: Big Feelings, Gentle Support

Children often feel deeply but don’t always have the words to express their emotions. That’s where the doTERRA Emotional Aromatherapy Touch Kit comes in. This curated set of gentle roller blends empowers kids (and adults) to identify and navigate emotions naturally.

Each blend is pre-diluted for safe use and helps kids connect with how they’re feeling:

• Peace® Touch for anxious moments.
• Cheer® Touch for uplifting low moods.
• Console® Touch for comfort and calm during sad times.
• Motivate® Touch for days when they need a little extra pep.
• Forgive® Touch and Passion® Touch for navigating friendships and creative expression.

Create a simple emotions chart with colors or emojis and let kids choose a blend that matches how they feel—it helps them learn self-regulation in a healthy, empowering way.

4. Outdoor Adventures: Naturally Protected + Soothed

Whether it’s digging in the dirt, running barefoot in the grass, or taking a beach day, outdoor play is essential for childhood—and so is safe, effective protection.

Here are a few must-haves for fun in the sun:

• doTERRA Sun Care: This mineral-based line provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection without the junk. It’s reef-safe, water-resistant, and gentle on sensitive skin.
• TerraShield® Spray: Nature’s outdoor blend. Perfect for hikes, campouts, or just backyard bug defense.
• Correct-X®: This soothing ointment is a lifesaver for scrapes, dry skin, and minor skin irritations—keep it in your diaper bag, beach tote, or glovebox for easy, natural first aid.

5. Building Wellness Foundations

Wellness starts early. Building healthy habits in childhood sets the tone for life, and doTERRA’s natural options make it easier to support that journey. In the Foundational Wellness for Kids guide, you’ll find essential tips for:

• Supporting digestion with tamer blends.
• Strengthening the immune system.
• Encouraging better sleep and mental clarity.
• Using oils safely and effectively by age and need.

Start small—maybe it’s a morning diffuser with Wild Orange + Peppermint or a bedtime belly massage with DigestZen®. Over time, these rituals become your family’s rhythm.
