Every child loves to make potions -- colourful or foul-smelling mixtures of mud, soap, plants and anything else you can find that makes a mess.

Here, you'll learn to make proper potions -- healing creams that you can use on your own cuts, bruises and sunburns -- and those of your friends and family!

Making these potions is a lot of fun -- I've done it with my daughter.

WARNING: Making these potions involves heating up liquids on your cooker -- and should only be done with an adult who is helping and present.
