Ready for your kids to think you are the coolest parent ever? Painting on unique surfaces is a great project for children. We have painted on bubble wrap, sandpaper and popsicle sticks. Why not faces? After having face painting at my son’s birthday party my children were desperate to try it out themselves. Giving my children the power to paint each other’s faces (and their parents!) was such a fun Saturday afternoon. Ready to be brave? Time for Silly Face Painting!

TIME FOR SILLY FACE PAINTING!
Set up a painting station in an area of your house. I recommend using a a room that does not have a rug. Using q-tips will control the amount of paint your children can use at one time and, therefore, control the mess.
Keep damp paper towels handy for quick clean ups. Despite giving complete painting control to my kids this was surprisingly not that messy. The giggles and huge grins made any post painting clean up completely worth it!
