Homemade Face Paint for Kids
Materials
- Corn starch
- Lotion
- Water
- Washable paint or Food dye
Method
- Begin by combining roughly equal amounts of corn starch and lotion in a bowl or container. Add a touch of water.
- Add a squirt of washable paint. You can alternatively use food coloring for longer wear.
- Mix until the ingredients are combined and a thick paste is formed.
- Repeat this process for each color of homemade face paint that you wish to make.
- Now, it's time to play!
Give kids a mirror, and they are sure to have a blast painting their face, arms, and more!
This body paint is safe for most skin types given that it is made from lotion, and if you use washable paint it won't even stain!
Extend the Fun
- For a thicker, clown-like face paint use coconut oil or shortening in place of lotion. You could also try Vaseline!
- Add body glitter for even more fun!
