Colonial Crafts: Make a Lavender Sachet in the Time Travelers KidStudio
In conjunction with Greenwich Historical Societys current exhibition, Greenwich During the Revolutionary War: A Frontier Town on the Front Line, the Time Travelers KidStudio returns through June 2025! Step back in time and learn how kids lived in Greenwich 250 years ago. Every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon will feature a new guided craft or activity inspired by the colonial era. Children up to age 12 are welcome to attend with an accompanying adult.
On Wednesday, the KidStudio will offer making a lavender sachet! The scent of lavender has been enjoyed for hundreds of years thanks to its soothing and calming aroma. Lavender-filled sachets were especially popular in the 1800s and were used to help keep clothes and linens smelling fresh. Create your own lavender sachet today with dried lavender and other dried flowers and spices and enjoy its scent for months to come!
