What You Need to Provide
Space- To start Face Painting, I will need an area large
enough for a table and at least two chairs, which you should
provide.
Activities- Facepainting is done one at a time. Most designs
take 3-5 minutes. It is best to plan another activity that
allows children to pop in and out as their turn arrives.
Some children like to sit and watch but others get very excited
and get tired of waiting quickly.
Supervision- It helps if someone is available to keep an eye on the
children, including deciding the order to be painted. The artist
needs to concentrate on the painting in order to do a good job.
Paints- All the paints I use are water based. They wash off
easily with soap and water They are non-toxic and made specifically
for use on the skin. These paints dry within 5 minutes. If the
skin moistens again { Perspiration or rain } the paint can smear
and come off.
