It is time for school to restart! Whether children are starting preschool or kindergarten for the first time or returning to familiar schools and friends, there is excitement - and maybe a little anxiety - about new and unknown teachers and classmates.
Many households know the nervous excitement and lack of sleep the first few nights of school bring. Lavender can help comfort and sooth tired and nervous children who are anticipating the start of school.
Lavender Aromatherapy Bear
The start of school for first time preschoolers or kindergartners is a huge milestone in the lives of both the children and their parents. It is a time to celebrate the beginning of new experiences and to be proud of each child’s on-going development. A comforting friend to aid in the transition to independence can be helpful in the first few weeks of school as children get used to new routines.
Pelindaba's Lavender Aromatherapy Bear can be that perfect snuggle buddy at night to soothe and comfort first time students. The belly of our stuffed bear is filled with our organic lavender buds which release their calming scent throughout the night to assist with relaxation and sleep. The bear can be warmed for extra comfort and to release even more of the soothing properties of lavender (or brought into any anxious parent's room to proffer the same benefits to them)!
Lavender Bubble Bath
Bath time is a fun time to release end-of-the-evening bursts of energy many children can get right before heading to bed for the night. Taking a relaxing bath in a lavender scented bubble bath just before turning in calms excited nerves so that children can get to sleep more easily. The scent of lavender is also relaxing for moms and dads as they watch their splashing and playing child during bath time. By the time children have finished in the fragrant bath suds, they with be ready to settle into bed for the night.
Lavender Treatment Stick
One of the most anticipated parts of the school day (other than lunchtime) is recess!
Getting the opportunity to run, jump and play is vital to cognitive and social development. Young children’s minds take in information in small bursts and need rest in order to process that information. The opportunity to remain active and release energy through play facilitates learning.
When playing, however, small scrapes, abrasions and bruises are common as children navigate monkey bars and swings or while chasing balls or running after each other. Pelindaba Lavender’s handcrafted Lavender Treatment Stick comes in a convenient, easy to use, small tube that children can quickly apply to these minor injuries themselves. The stick has the natural antiseptic and anesthetic properties of lavender to aid quick healing and is readily kept in backpacks.
This is also a great start-of-the-school-year gift for teachers!
Lavender Hand Sanitizer
Coming back together with friends and classmates is so much fun! Unfortunately, coming together in groups can also spread illnesses. Teachers and parents know that shortly after starting school, many students come down with colds and other common illnesses.
Consequently, the top items on many back-to-school supply lists are hand sanitizing and disinfecting products. Pelindaba Lavender offers a natural, lavender-based hand sanitizer that contains no harsh chemicals and only utilizes the natural antiseptic properties of lavender to stop the spread of bacteria and viruses in the classroom.
Teachers and children will enjoy spritzing our fragrant and effective natural hand sanitizer on themselves.
