And anxiety time – especially for parents who fear their could get lost in the crowds at theme parks, beaches and malls. Well, now there is a unique way to find your wandering children and your kids will love it. It’s a temporary tattoo with a message that says “If I am lost please help me be found!” Below the message, parents can add their emergency phone numbers with a special pen that’s included in the kit. The cute Tattoos with a Purpose are designed with butterflies, spaceships, hearts and dinosaurs and are non-toxic and hypoallergenic. After you apply it with a damp cloth, just write your emergency contact number in the designated spot and voila! your child will be sporting a fun but effective way to keep him or her safe. Have no fear, parents, it wears off in 3-to-5 days. Or to remove it sooner, just use an alcohol wipe. Individual tattoos are $1.29 and the kits which include six Lost and Found Temporary Tattoos (one dinosaur, one rocket, one dog, one butterfly, one heart, one pony), a Tattoos With A Purpose Marker, six Moisture Towelettes (for applying) and six On-The-Go Alcohol Wipes (for removing) are $9.99.
