Painting Bunny Faces on Children
Paint bunny faces on children for holidays, parties or rainy day activities. Whether it’s just for fun or for a party, a bunny face is sure to make your child glow. Face painting is a great way to interact with your child, and also a wonderful way for older children to express their creativity. There are different types of face paints and kits available; even ordinary face makeup can be used to create a sensation for your child. Either works just as well as the other for face painting; although the quality of the product will make a difference in application, wearability and skin sensitivity.

Tips & Warnings
Apply makeup sparingly so it does not clump or crease.
Stick to simple designs for children under the age of 7 since they have difficulty sitting for longer periods.
Use soap and water to clean off the face paint. A mild makeup remover may also be used to clean off stubborn areas.
Avoid using a moisturizer on the child’s face before applying the face paint. This will make the paint smear easy and it won't be as durable.
Test a small amount of makeup on the child’s skin to make sure it won’t cause irritation or rash.
Choose quality makeup, whether you are using a commercial brand of face paint or regular face makeup.
