Great introduction for kids into the art and history of Mehndi!

Mendi is the Indian word for henna body painting, which has been practiced for thousands of years in India, Africa and the Middle East. The henna plant is believed to bring love, luck and prosperity. Mehndi involves using a paste made from the crushed leaves of the henna plant; when applied to the skin, it leaves beautiful markings that fade naturally over 1 to 3 weeks.

Earth Henna Body Painting Kit is a unique henna mix, which was created to simplify the centuries-old application process. Once mixed, the Earth Henna paste lasts 4 weeks, if refrigerated; proper staining of skin is achieved in just 4-6 hours.
