My little sister concocted perfumes all summer long. Now, it’s time for me to share the fun nature and science activity with my kids.
We used a mortar and pestle to mix water and flowers.
Then added in other smelly things like . . .
We poured perfume in small jars. So pretty!

My girls love doing this but I never thought to give them the mortar and pestle. Great idea! Now, I just need more flowers to bloom.

Wow this is perfect fun time activity with kids. The girl is really enjoying making perfumes. Kids really love to explore a lot of things and making perfume is really amazing.

Great activity! I have to say the mortar and pestle and fancy glass bottle definitely lend a very romantic atmosphere to your fabulous perfume laboratory!

It is not easy to make our own perfume and I should say that this idea is awesome! I actually enjoyed this post so much..

My sister and I used to make perfume from flowers when were little. It was so much fun. I like how you added the mortar and pestle.

so much fun! – of course it never smells that great, especially after a few days . . .
