Rosemary scented water

Today we made rosemary scented water for natural sensory play and exploration.
This activity is perfect for outdoor water play and for exploring the plants and their properties.
We used scissors to cut the herbs and then made natural infusions which smell wonderful.

You can also cut the branches and put it in a bowl with water then leave it overnight to soak in. It is a real treat for the senses!
 To finish we prepared a lovely cup of tea with some of the rosemary branches- not the easiest to drink but the benefits are many.
