Summer is a time when family outings are particularly common. From beaches to theme parks, many of the popular activities include masses of people. Even under the most watchful eye, children can easily become separated from their parent or grandparent in large crowds.

But the Clovis Police Department in California has come up with a clever trick for making it easier to reunite a lost child with their caretaker. They recommend creating a temporary tattoo on the child's wrist of the necessary information should they get lost. And the best part is that it's easy to do!

 

 

How To Create A Temporary Tattoo At Home

 

First, start by writing any important information someone may need should you and your child become separated. For example, your phone number, any medical conditions your child may have, etc.

 

 

Next, use a liquid bandaid to "seal" the information onto your child's skin. That way, if your child is lost, Good Samaritans will easily be able to get in touch with you.
