Get Painting
There are a few different ways to get started on each design. Face paints come in a variety of colors and are available in paint pot form or as crayons that you can simply draw with. You can use stencils, rubber stamps or just free hand your designs. Whatever route you choose, have handy a paint brush for each color, a few clean sponges, fresh water and paper towels. Wrap a towel around the child’s shoulders and let’s get started!
