Kids love crystals - just make sure you clean them.

Kids love crystals. They attract children with their varied colors, the way they reflect the light, and their textures. Crystals also speak to children's innate desire to connect to all that is in nature. Crystals all have a healing property assigned to them. Let your child pick out the stones that resonate with him or her. Take note of the names of the stones that your child picks, you might find that he or she has picked a crystal whose healing vibration matches an issue your child is dealing with.

An Amethyst may be chosen for its beautiful purple color but maybe the child choosing the stone intuitively knows that Amethyst help with sleep issues, such as nightmares. Or maybe he or she chose the Hematite stone because it is black and shiny, but innately the body knew it would help the child with anxiety. The list of things that these beautiful, unique crystals can help with goes on and on. You may be amazed at how in tune our little ones are with the universe.

As soon as you get the crystals home, you will need to clean them off any residual energy attached to the stones from the many hands touching them. Cleaning their energy isn't complex nor does it need a ceremony.

· Place your stones in a bowl with mild detergent, getting rid of any dust or stickiness

· Rinse the stones to make sure there is not a soap residue left behind.

· Dry your stones and they are good to go

· For an extra boost dry the crystals in bright sunlight. Letting them dry naturally.

· Clean the crystals periodically if they start to look dull, dusty, or dirty. This helps to keep their healing energies fresh.

Let your child take the lead, watch which ones they gravitate to more than others. One idea is to allow your child to wear their preferred crystal of the day as a necklace. Here is a link to a pendant cage that won’t break your bank but is functional enough to allow you to change the crystals.  You can use leather or rope found in any craft store to make an necklace.
