You and your kids will go crazy over this Aromatherapy Lavender Slime Recipe. Your kids will love that it is a slime that smells good and you will enjoy the calming essence that it will have on your kids!

Slime is all the things and more right now, isn’t it? I mean there are so many different varieties, the possibilities are practically endless. We have our rainbow slime, glitter slime, and so much more!

Kids seem to never get bored and never have enough! Making slime is not difficult. It gets to the point that even some kids can even make it on their own! Yes, it can make a mess but it is an easily cleaned up mess. One thing that I love about slime is that it can be such a calming and centering activity for kids.

So grab lots of our other easy slime recipes too.

When they need a break from learning or need some extra sensory in their lives, slime is where it’s at. For this slime recipe, I took it one step further. Have you ever seen the calming effect that lavender can have on anyone, but kids in particular? It is wonderful!

Lavender has a way of centering anyone who comes into contact with it. Essential oils are a fantastic way to include this scent into the slime and in turn helping kids calm down naturally.

This is my favorite Aromatherapy Lavender Slime recipe is the best around!
