Decorate Yourself: Design Temporary Tattoos and Mehndi
Tattoos at the library? Teens and Moms used a henna mixture in plastic bags to design temporary tattoos. Some drew their designs first. Some brought the neighbor from down the street and had to get their Mom who had been a tattoo artist to draw the designs from our books. We listened to Bollywood music played by a string quartet and had a good spring break spending time together and creating.

Burned! ha ha.
But seriously, these fun things always go on in the kids department. When are the adults going to get more involved? The ones without kids, more specifically.

Roger has a good point. I would love a version of the temporary tatoo event for those "of an age..."
