We learned about India in our homeschool.
We made a Henna Hands paper craft.
I found this fun henna hands arts project and we used that as inspiration.
We learned about henna art.
I gathered paper
We listened to fun Bollywood music and later watched Monsoon Wedding
First, we traced our hands with pencil on white paper.
We went over the outlines with metallic Sharpie.
We used the art pens to draw henna-like designs.
We cut out our hands and mounted them on colored paper.
Our completed Henna Hands!
Tori loved learning about India and completing this craft for the geography fair!
We love learning about other cultures.
