Why Not Try A Face Painting Birthday Party

By Hollie Copeland

Being a parent can be a tough job, especially when you cannot seem to give your little ones the perfect birthday party you always hoped for, which mostly is the case when you have to remain in a budget. But, there is always something new that you can try, and what if it is for free as well. You should read on to find out how you can make the birthday party of your child not only more enjoyable for him/her, but also for yourself.

Face painting is a touch that anyone can try out. However, nowadays, we have professionals contributing their services for face painting of kids on their birthday parties, but it is not that much enjoyable, particularly when you can paint one another by yourself.

Always make sure that you get a face paint that is approved by the FDA; this means that you acquire the paint that has been specifically made for face and body. This will shun any rashes or skin problems. You clearly would not want other parents banging at your door.

Whilst setting up a birthday party, always bear in mind the ages of the children who are invited. If the typical age at your party is around six or seven, you can theme the party according to what your child requests, and then you can ask the kids to paint each other according to that theme. If you settle on a princess theme for the birthday party of your little girl, try fetching colours such as silver, pink and blue to paint fairies, butterflies or stars on their faces.

Making the kids to paint faces of each other is a grand way to let them have fun. This will not only allow for highest participation in a group doings, but will promise entertainment as well. You should stop thinking about games like "pass-the-cushion" or "musical chairs". You can have a big group contribution activity in the form of face painting.

You can supply the kids with designs to make it easier for them to paint. Make available for them only essential designs such as, a mixture of shapes and objects or flora to allow them to make their own designs.

Make available a clean sheet for the kids to sit on and paint. You can provide them overalls if the children are too young. An additional option is to get the parents to volunteer for painting faces of the kids. This would allow you to keep an eye on the children along with enjoying the party. You can have a quality time with the children and get other parents to spend their time in the same way as well.

Be watchful that the paint does not go into the mouth of any child. Kids more often than not pander in to naughty behaviour on birthday parties and may swallow paint; so, be very vigilant when giving the kids the paint and the brush. It is crucial that an adult is always close by to administer.

There are a number of colours that you can try out for a non-theme birthday party, such as black and white or any of the primary colours (red, blue and green). You can make the birthday party as enjoyable and as life-sized as you want. Decide beforehand, on how you want to manage the children, and then let them take pleasure in their bit of fun. - 29943
