KID-FRIENDLY CLEANSING WIPES

Kids love to get dirty, and they love to help clean things! Give them one of these Kid-Friendly Cleansing Wipes to get both hands and soft and hard toys purified. Lavender and lemon essential oils ensure that dirt and grime are a thing of the past.

YIELD: 1 roll of wipes

1 roll high-quality paper towels

2 cups distilled water

1 tablespoon liquid Castile soap

1 tablespoon fractionated coconut oil

10 drops lavender essential oil

10 drops lemon essential oil

TO MAKE: Lay the paper towel roll horizontally on the table in front of you, then use a serrated knife to cut the roll in half. Use one half of roll now and keep one half of roll for next use. Next, combine water, soap, coconut oil, and essential oils in a small bowl. Mix well. Remove the cardboard tube from the paper towel roll and discard, then place paper towel roll half in a plastic container (like an empty baby wipes container). Pour the water mixture over the paper towels and allow to sit for an hour.

TO USE: Pull wipes from the center of the roll and use to clean hands or wash face, or as diaper cleansing wipes.

TO STORE: Store for up to 1 month in container.

VARIATION

Go green by buying cloth wipes, cutting up an old T-shirt, or using washcloths instead of paper towels.
