When I was asked to do a tutorial about
Tulip's face paint, I was worried for two reasons-- 1) I can't draw to save my life, and 2) we are definitely Halloween 'cute' and not Halloween 'scary'. No fake blood in my house!
We made a Face Paint Picnic one of our
Halloween Countdown activities. We decided to test a bit on her arm to get started. Tulip is non toxic, and cosmetic grade, but I still wanted to make sure she'd be ok with it, before putting it all over her face.
I was a little worried that all the stencils would be creepy, but there were so many girly-girly cute designs. I was also suprised by how many stencils came in one package-- you could do an entire girls party with one of these!
She picked a butterfly and I snipped it out of the adhesive sheet.
The stencils stick on like a sticker, so they aren't reusable; but you do get an extremely clean image.
I was so impressed when I pulled of the stencil-- there is no way I could have free handed that on a wiggly 3 year old. You can even see the tiny antennae!
I added some dots using the back of the brush, and of course, glitter.
Afterword we were left with this beautiful 'tattoo' that washed off completely at bed time!
Although I hadn't seriously considered face paint before, I think this would be a great activity for any day-- not just Halloween. With the stencils, the paint was so quick and easy to put on, that I won't hesitate to whip it out at our next birthday party or play date.
