Face painting and body painting turn you into a walking work of art! You can paint a butterfly on your cheek, tiger stripes on your face, or a rainbow on your arm. Using special safe paints on your skin is a fun way to transform yourself and play pretend.
Use only non-toxic, skin-safe face paint or body paint. Let children look in mirrors while their faces are painted. Start simple: a heart on the cheek, a star on the hand. Let children paint each other's arms or hands with supervision. Connect face painting to pretend play and character creation. Always have wipes and water ready for cleanup.
Face painting and body painting turn your skin into a canvas. Instead of painting on paper, the paint goes on your cheeks, forehead, arms, or hands. With a few strokes of special face paint, you can become a tiger, a butterfly, a pirate, or anything you dream up!
It is very important to use the right kind of paint. Only face paint or body paint that is specially made to be safe for skin should be used. Regular art paint, markers, or other supplies are not safe for your skin. Face paint washes off easily with water and soap, and it is designed to be gentle.
Face painting is connected to pretend play. When your face is painted to look like a cat, you might start walking on all fours and meowing. When your face looks like a superhero, you might feel brave and strong. The paint transforms how you look, and that transforms how you feel and play. It is like wearing a costume on your face!
People all around the world have painted their faces and bodies for thousands of years. Some do it for celebrations, some for ceremonies, and some just for fun. When you get your face painted at a fair or paint a design on your friend's hand, you are part of a very old and wonderful tradition. Your body is a canvas, and face painting lets you decorate it in the most fun way possible!
