Homemade Organic Bug Spray
We all know that spending time outside is great for the whole family – exploring nature, getting your daily dose of Vitamin D, breathing some fresh air, being active. At Green Kid Crafts, we have better ways to upgrade their outdoor exposure with fun science and art activities that are perfect for their ages.
Unfortunately, your kids are not the only ones who love to take a glimpse of our STEAM projects in every box. While your kids are out, bugs, mosquitoes, and other insects are also lurking in the corners. Good thing, you can keep bugs away with a little help from insect repellents and bug sprays. If your child is sensitive to chemical-based ingredients, you can try this organic bug spray recipe at home!
Ingredients
Eucalyptus, Lemongrass, Peppermint, Lavender, Citronella, Cedarwood, and Tea Tree Essential Oils
Instructions
- Fill a glass spray bottle with distilled water.
- Add a few drops of each oil listed above and shake.
- Shake before each use as the oils and water will naturally separate some over time.
At Green Kid Crafts, we care about the safety of your kids as they learn, play, and have fun with their monthly science and art projects. Finally, there’s a safe but effective option of organic bug spray for you to try!
