After my son's Soccer Tots Class, all the kids in the class wait patiently in line for stamps on their hands…. last night my son chose a flower on one hand and a dinosaur on the other- he is my son... I LOVE flowers! He stares at his hands in amazement and shows his stamps to anyone who will look at them. But even better than stamps that wash off right away are Temporary Tattoos, which can last anywhere from 6 hours to 6 days depending on the quality of the Temporary Tattoo. Tattoos are not only Cool with Adults, but with Kids as well, and there are hundreds of manufacturers creating amazing Temporary Tattoo designs specifically for kids... which are non-toxic and completely safe for children. The Temporary Tattoo trend is not a new one, but it is definitely re-emerging, and you can find Temporary Tattoos in vending machines at grocery stores, in most superstores, in boutiques, online, and you can even DIY. In Fact, there are so many beautifully designed Temporary Tattoos on the market right now I actually had a hard time narrowing down my favorites! With all these options, pick up a pack or two, as Temporary Tattoos are Fun, Cute, and Allow your Child to Express their LOVES! And a Parent Tip… Temporary Tattoos are easy to stash in your purse or wallet for a quick fix when your child is about to have a meltdown… as kids get very interested in their new Tattoos!
Perhaps the Coolest Tattoos on the market are Tattly Tattoos, which are designed by Artists in the U.S. who get a cut of the sales of their designs. Tattly Tattoos are safe & non-toxic and printed with vegetable-based ink. With the hundreds of Cool designs at Tattly you are sure to find some your Child Loves, and if you need a Custom Order for a party or an event they do Custom Orders too. This Zoo Crew Set is a collection of masked and cool animals designs by Helen Dardik. These Critters are Adorable, and I know my son would Love these, especially the Funny Bunny!
My other favorite Pack from Tattly is the Monster Set, it includes Fake Monsters which are Adorable Little Critters designed by Anke van der Meer. My son would love all of this little guys named… Eep, Rawr, Wuv, and Grrr… How cute is that?
Mini Rodini has three-packs of non-toxic Temporary Tattoos with motifs inspired by the graphics & prints in their collection. I love this Panther, Parrots, and Tiger pack, but unfortunately it is Sold Out. Just as Cool though are these two other packs from Mini Rodini: Anchor, One-Legged Pirate, and Shark & Happy Hot Dog, Godzilla, and Bulldog.
Gumtoo designs non-toxic premium Temporary Tattoos for Teens and Kids. Gumtoo is a Singapore based company that works with talented designers from around the world. This adorable Jungle Set was designed by Lisa Martin from the U.K. I think all of these Jungle Babies are extremely cute, but Jeeba the Zebra is my favorite!
These Handmade Temporary Jungle Tattoos from Weegallery on Etsy are simply beautiful! The shop owner is Surya Sajnani, a graphic designer, who painted a mural in her babies nursery that led to her designing this beautiful collection of animals. These Temporary Tattoos would make great birthday party favors.
And of course you can always DIY your own Temporary Tattoos. The Girl Inspired made these DIY Temporary Tattoos for Halloween, and has Easy To Follow instructions on her Blog. You purchase Tattoo Paper and then create your layout using the Silhouette Software; the designs are only 99cents each and are print and cut. It sounds simple and they look Great! These Halloween ones would be so cute to hand out to trick-or-treaters as an alternative to candy!
