Parents rejoice for Back to School every year. We love seeing our little ones set off for another set of milestones, another learning adventure. Set your kids up for a great time with these recipes for Back to School Success with Oils.
Your kids will love these 3 new personalized roller blends to stay calm and focused for Back to School Success with Essential Oils!
I like to get everything all laid out the night before (clothes, supplies, etc.) and send them off to bed with a relaxing bath. This helps them wind down and prepare their minds and bodies to hit the pillow.
Sleep is essential for a mind ready to learn. Check out our top sleep tips here and also check out our Good Night Bedtime Spray to help your kids get a good night’s rest.
In the morning, prime your house for success with one of our Get Up & Go Morning Diffuser Recipes.
Plan ahead and pack a diffuser necklace as a Welcome Back gift for teachers. New teachers and veteran teachers will love this thoughtful touch. I’d throw in a sample of Lavender essential oil!
Get them started on the right foot with Ningxia Red Vitamin C Gummies. Yes! I like the tangy, sweetness, too!
Now, let’s talk about helping your kids stay calm and focused while at school…
Your kids will love these three new personalized roller blends below. They can either just sniff the bottle for a burst of inspiring and motivational scent or they can roll them on their wrist to carry it with them through the day.
These blends are intended for children over 6 years old. Always label the blends so you know exactly what’s in them. (We love these waterproof oval roller ball labels!)

August 17, 2016 at 4:42 pmThanks for posting these recipes! Do you think it would hurt to add more drops of each oil and top with the CO? And, where do you recommend applying each roller?
Jenn says
August 17, 2016 at 10:15 pmMelissa – sure, you could definitely add more as needed. I would use them on wrists and back of the neck. 🙂

Beth K says
August 29, 2016 at 1:20 pmYou can apply them to wrists or over the heart. You could even use these blends on the soles of your children’s feet if they prefer.
Shirley says
November 18, 2016 at 10:51 amAre there non-nut oil substitutes? It seems that all have a base of coconut oil, and my daughter is highly allergic to peanuts and ALL TREE nuts.
Jenn says
November 26, 2016 at 3:08 pmShirley – you are can definitely substitute any carrier oil that works for you and your daughter in all of our recipes!
Cathy says
October 29, 2018 at 9:14 amJust curious if she is allergic to coconut oil as well? My daughter is allergic to tree nuts but does not have a problem with coconut oil. We use it as a base for all of her stuff. Just curious 🙂

September 25, 2017 at 7:36 amIs orange calming? I always think of it as energizing?
Beth K says

January 14, 2018 at 5:15 amHi! I love this post. Thanks for sharing your recipes. I’m going to try the calming and the homework blends for my kids. What is the A+ Test Day blend for, btw?
Recipes With Essential Oils says
January 19, 2018 at 9:34 amHello Tiara! Any of these blends can be used throughout the day on your kiddos. The A+ Test Day blend contains peppermint, which can be both invigorating and energizing. It helps me with mental focus or if I need a quick pick-me-up. Perfect for test day!
Indsay says
February 18, 2018 at 7:26 amI was curious if I use these in a diffuser at home or in class, how many drops of oil to use for the mixtures? My diffuser requires approx 8 oz of water for the max-fill. Thank you so much.
Diana M says
April 10, 2018 at 9:21 amI typically put about 5-8 drops in my diffuser at a time. It is really a personal preference. Check out our diffuser guide here.
