What kid do you know who hasn’t drawn or written on a hand, arm or face at one time or another to copy kids temporary tattoos? From the age of two, they love to creatively ‘decorate’ walls, themselves, and of course, each other. Although most countries regulate the ingredients of common ball point inks to ensure non-toxicity, you may still be concerned for their safety. What about the risk of a skin puncture during application? Abrasion, irritation, and infection are also possibilities to consider.
With this in mind what can be done? Does the problem require a strict ‘no marking’ policy? Even if that could be effectively enforced, what does it do to the psyche of the creative child?
Fortunately, kids temporary tattoos can provide a safe alternative.
Simple, fun and inexpensive, kids temporary tattoos are available in a wide variety of non-toxic multi-colored designs. A child may choose his or her own unique temporary tattoo to proudly wear and display without any of the risks mentioned above. They are a source of great fun at parties, special occasions and other forms of group play.
Kids temporary tattoos can provide functional safety.
Another very functional use of kids temporary tattoos to be aware of is marking children with a phone number and/or an address to prevent tragedy on an outing to a crowded public place. Lost children may be quickly identified and returned by the authorities.
As parents, we want our kids to enjoy themselves, learn to socialize with others and above all, know how to be safe. I use kids temporary tattoos to give my children safe and enjoyable opportunities to explore their creativity while learning life lessons.
