You could make the "appearance" of henna by drawing on the skin with
Crayola washable markers. The brown one actually looks pretty much
like a light henna stain.
For 8 year olds, try designs with hearts and daisys, or for the more
adventurous, vines and paisleys.
Hand out markers to all the girls, make sure you have a few sample
designs on hand (there are plenty on various web pages if you have
the time to search) and let the party begin!
If you feel like spending money on a book with nice color photgraphs,
the one by Sumita Batra is good. It has instructions on recipes and
the use of stecils if you feel like doing all the work of real henna
and lots of designs ranging from simple to terrifying.
This is the most popular book in my collection when I work doing
henna on girls of this age range. Maybe it's because it's got
pictures of celebrities in it.
Good Luck!
