For our homeschool geography fair, my daughter chose to learn about and display India.

I want to learn real history along with my kids, not just an American perspective.

Henna Hands Craft

We learned about India in our homeschool.

We made a Henna Hands paper craft.

Henna Hands Craft

I found this fun henna hands arts project and we used that as inspiration.

We learned about henna art.

I gathered paper, metallic pens and Sharpies, and our art trays.

Ready to Make Paper Henna Hands

We listened to fun Bollywood music and later watched Monsoon Wedding.

Bollywood Mood

First, we traced our hands with pencil on white paper.

Tracing Hands

We went over the outlines with metallic Sharpie.

We used the art pens to draw henna-like designs.

Henna Designs

We cut out our hands and mounted them on colored paper.
