Unlike a tattoo, the dye is applied on the surface of the skin and will usually fade away in 1 &#8211; 3 weeks. It was mainly used by brides for marriage ceremonies and for celebrations of special holidays. Originally it was used exclusively on women, mainly on hands and feet, but today other body parts can be covered and men will also be decorated with mehndi designs. Today we have our own Henna Hands Craft for Children.<\/p>\n<h4>Materials for Henna Hands Craft for Children:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>paper<\/li>\n<li>pencil<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B00006IFJ3\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B00006IFJ3\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">fine line washable markers<\/a><\/li>\n<li>construction paper (optional)<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"y\" data-identifier=\"B001E69WBW\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"y\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"homeschool-companion-20\" href=\"https:\/\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/product\/B001E69WBW\/US\/homeschool-companion-20\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">glue stick<\/a> (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15488 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeschoolcompanion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/henna-hands-1-780wm.jpg?resize=780%2C520\" alt=\"Henna Hands Craft for Children\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/07\/henna-hands-1-780wm.jpg?w=780&amp;ssl=1 780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/07\/henna-hands-1-780wm.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/07\/henna-hands-1-780wm.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/07\/henna-hands-1-780wm.jpg?resize=425%2C283&amp;ssl=1 425w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weefolkart.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/07\/henna-hands-1-780wm.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Henna Hands Craft for Children<\/h4>\n<p>If possible share some photos of mehndi designs with your child.
