Medicinal plant eco-art workshop for children

Goal: Create the habit in children to use the medicinal plants from their natural environment to cure health problems.
Activity:
From a list of common health problems and their respective healing medicinal plant with common name and illustration, the children:

1. Recognize which health problem is the most common in their household (or with themselves)
2. On a paper bag, write the name of the health problem, the name of the medicinal plant and illustrate the plant and anything else they wish to draw.
3. From a collection of actual plant cuttings, select their medicinal plant, place it in their paper bag and take it home to plant to have available year-round.
