crafts store, you buy non-toxic paints made
especially for face painting.

remove and non-greasy.

Put together a book of designs for kids to choose
from, and be sure to seat the child in a chair
or other safe place while you are painting.

Make sure they keep the eyes closed during the
process and dont ever put glitter on the face,
as there is no safe glitter.
