"Now, all we need is some essential oil," continued Bubbles. "I think we have some in the living room that we use in our candle diffusers."
Lizzie duly skipped into the living room and found a box of different essential oils. She chose the lavender oil, as it was her favourite scent.
"Good choice, Lizzie," said Bubbles when she returned. "If you put just a few drops in the jar. Not too much or it will only smell of lavender!"
Lizzie let a few drops of the lavender essential oil fall into the jar. "What if we hadn't had essential oils?" she asked Bubbles, worried that their pot pourri recipe would be ruined without it.
"You could always have used some other perfume," he explained, "but it would have taken more than a few drops - essential oils are very concentrated so you don't need so much."
"Right! That's it!" he then declared. "All finished. We just need to seal the jar and leave it for a couple more weeks, shaking it every day or two to mix up the contents. Shall we take it in turns to do that?"
