Oh no! Please, please don’t use craft and art paints for body painting! There are real face and body paints out there that are made for this purpose and are so much safer and FDA-compliant! An easy to find and inexpensive brand is Snazaroo, which is also fairly easy to use and is also child toy safety rated. It’s distributed to art and party stores by Col-Art, or you can order it from snazaroo.us directly from Texas. There’s also Wolfe Brothers (included with the Klutz face painting book), Kryolan (which has won awards for safety), Mehron (a longstanding supplier of theater makeup) and many others.

Please don’t use craft paint or encourage others to do so. You’re talking about the potential for getting something harmful in kids’ eyes, and that horrifies me.

And please, please, I know you don’t seem to have been using glitter, but if you ever use glitter for faces, ONLY cosmetic glitter, NEVER craft glitter. Cosmetic glitter is made with FDA-compliant ingredients and won’t damage the eyes.

If I could blog with photos, like this it would be awesome. I need the photos! What an awesome activity for the kids! I could see teenagers getting crazy with this! I’m one of those moms, too, hey it washes off! This is totally how I learn, and most of my kids too, by doing!
