DIY Face Painting at Home.
Find common things around the home to make your own face paint.
Lotion.
Cornflour.
Food colouring.
Need something to do in the school holidays? If you’re not afraid of a bit of mess, try making your own face paint!
You only need three ingredients! Lotion (aka moisturising cream) Cornflour and Food Colouring. You can substitute food colouring for eye shadow if its highly pigmented.
The method is simply this. Mix one tablespoon of water with one tablespoon of lotion and two tablespoons of cornflour. Separate into small paint wells and add food colouring. VOILA!
The best thing about this activity, is you can teach your children to be resourceful. Yes, you can buy cheap face paint from craft stores, but, it’s no where near as fun as making your own!
