Choosing the right Paint
It’s important to know that you can’t use just any paint and apply it to your child’s skin. Even though a product may say it’s non-toxic that does not mean it’s safe for skin application. Some craft paints, and even water color paints, can cause allergic reactions or show redness on skin. Choose only paints made specifically for face painting. There are several brands available on the market and most major craft supply shops will keep them in stock on a regular basis. If you want to add sparkle by using glitter, use only those approved specifically for face painting. Choose face paint in pots, crayon form, or both for this fun and decorative undertaking.

Kid's Face Painting Set Up.
There are several things you will need and a few thing to consider when setting up a face painting station for kids. First and foremost, you or whoever will do the painting, will need a comfortable chair and chair or stool for the children to sit in. Have a few towels handy to drape around each child as they get their design, this also makes a handy place to wipe excess paint if it gets where it isn’t supposed to!
