Henna is one of the most popular attractions at school carnivals, fairs, and fundraising events. Kids love watching intricate designs appear on their hands, and parents appreciate that it's 100% natural, safe, and temporary. I bring everything needed to run a professional henna booth at your event.
Perfect for These Events
- School Carnivals & Fun Fairs — a top-earning booth every time
- PTA/PTO Fundraisers — easy to set up, hugely popular
- International Culture Days — showcase henna as South Asian and Middle Eastern cultural art
- Spring/Fall Festivals — outdoor-friendly, no electricity needed
- Graduation Celebrations — memorable keepsake designs for graduates
- School Dances / Prom — elegant henna accents for formalwear
- Library & Community Events — educational and hands-on cultural experience
Kid-Friendly Designs
I have a collection of quick, fun designs that kids love:
- Flowers & butterflies — classics that never get old
- Stars, moons & hearts — simple and fast (2–3 minutes each)
- Mandalas & geometric patterns — for kids who want something "fancy"
- Sports themes — soccer balls, basketballs, school mascots
- Names & initials — small, quick, and personal
- Full hand designs — for teachers and adults who want the full experience
Quick designs take 2–5 minutes per person, so I can serve 10–20 guests per hour depending on complexity.

- All henna supplies (fresh cones, design books, display samples)
- My own table setup with tablecloths and design menu cards
- Aftercare instruction cards for each guest
- Cultural information cards if requested (great for heritage events)
- Line management system for high-traffic events
What You Provide
- A table and 2 chairs in a covered area (shade or indoor preferred)
- Access to a hand-washing station nearby
- Advance promotion to students and families

Fundraiser Model
Many schools use the henna booth as a fundraiser: the school charges students $3–5 per design and pays the artist a flat hourly rate. This model typically nets the school $200–400+ in profit for a 3-hour event. I'm happy to work with your PTA/PTO to set up a pricing structure that maximizes your fundraising.
FAQ for Event Organizers
Is henna safe for children?
Yes! Natural henna is safe for children ages 5 and up. I do not apply henna to children under 5 without explicit parental consent and supervision. No chemicals are ever used.
What if a child has allergies?
True allergies to natural henna are extremely rare. Parents may request a patch test in advance. I always advise that children with G6PD deficiency should not get henna.
How long does it last?
The stain lasts 1–2 weeks and fades naturally. There's nothing to "remove" — it just grows out with the skin.
