If your kids are like mine, and LOVE having their faces painted, doing it yourself can save a lots of time and heartache. The stalls that offer face painting also offer very long queues full of hot impatient kids. Not really how I’d like to spend my time.
I truly believe one of the best things that I have bought since having the kids is a little face painting kit. The Snazaroo kit came with some simply to follow instructions. Their website also has a beginners guide and other helpful info but really little kids are happy with anything you can come up with that will make them stand out from the crowd. The little designs on my kids faces in these photos are all taken from the clothes that they were wearing, I simply copied the fish from Eli’s shirt, the Flowers from Lani’s and the Wing on Lilly came from the flying rock star guitar on her shirt but she was happy after just one wing so why fuss right?
Your idea about DIY face painting sounds good, I’ll remember that next time Steven wants me to paint his face :).
PS. It does kinda help that you are a creative genius when it comes to all things painting.
