8 year olds would have a tough time
: hennaeing themselves without it getting messy.
Henna in a tube might be a good idea (as someone below has suggested)
as would stencils - they don't take much work and the resulting
design is pretty - a little nicer than freehand work at that age.
: At 8 years old, the best solution might be to purchase the "henna"
: decals from a beauty supply store. The "mehndi temporary tattoos"
: that come in the little packages are NOT henna, but it would
eliminate
: a LOT of potential problems about touching, and how long henna
lasts
: .... the decals look pretty, and are harmless, and very temporary,
and
: are suitable for squirelly little girls.
Catherine has a good point about the transfers - and they might be
better for the kids when they're in school. The schools where I've
worked don't seem to have a problem with the transfer tattoos - more
permanent/semi-permanent art might not go over too well.
