What are some good face painting ideas?

Where can i find ideas to print off for face painting?

  • I am taking on the face painting at my childrens Elementary school next week and i need to print off some ideas for "simple" face painting so the kids will be able to choose a picture that won't take very long to do as the lines are usually very long. Any ideas where i can get this to print off for them? I want simplicity as i have also voluntered my husband as he is quite good at drawing. If i have template or visual chart to go by it will make the choosing go so much faster and easier. Any and all help is appreciated.

    Excellent idea! Honestly, I wish I had thought of that when I was working the face painting booth! You might want to show them examples of your own work. That way, you know that you can actually create the image, and they won't be disappointed if your work doesn't look exactly like what they picked. Alternately, you might have good luck finding simple images at a local store that sells coloring books and/or stickers. Lots of these will be simple shapes, that kids associate with. I know there are specific "face paints" on the market, but they're fairly expensive. We had really good luck with Crayola brand paints, since they're 100% non-toxic, and water washable...and much cheaper! Another suggestion, that was a huge help for me, in getting the kids through the line. Make stamps! Get some inexpensive foam from the fabric or crafts store, and cut out some of the basic shapes that you'll need (butterfly, football, circle for baseballs, lightening, etc.). At the event, you can stamp the basic shape on the kids' faces, and then do detail work on top. Much quicker!
