Session Outline•What do children know about traditional Henna mehndi tattoos?
• Henna is made from crushing the leaves of henna plants into a powder then made into a paste and painted onto hands for ceremonies to symbolise positive messages such as happiness, good fortune and wisdom.
• Explain that the children are going to make their own ‘mehndi’ patterns using other natural materials such as mud, chalk and (safe) leaves. Discuss the safety implications & why natural materials are being used.
• Provide equipment such as pestle & mortars, rocks, containers & water for the children to experiment making their own powders & pastes.
• When ready, spoon their paint into a small sandwich bag, tie the top and cut the corner to make your own piping bags.
• Allow the children to make their own mehndi patterns onto each other’s hands or onto hand templates. Allow them to choose & discuss what positive message their pattern and symbols represent.
