Learning the art of face painting and keeping it safe for the kids isn't hard if you follow simple guidelines. Whether you explore this art at your children's birthday party, in a school related activity or in a kiosk at a local fair, you must always have the kid's safety in mind. Face painting is fun, easy and children of all ages love it. Here are some tips to safely transform faces into amazing artwork.
Cleanliness Germs and infections can be transmitted from one child to the other if you neglect any of these:
Always make sure to wash your hands between sessions.
Wear gloves and change them with every child.
Make sure your brushes and all material you use are disinfected, again, between every child.
Make sure your work station is kept free of anything that could contaminate your material.
Using The right Materials Never use paint that is not made for face painting. Always choose brands that are non-toxic and suitable for human skin. Rashes and allergic reactions could emerge if you don't use the right paints. Use quality glitter, sparkles or any other enhancement materials, because those too can cause irritations.
Be Organized Always have all the tools and materials you'll need at hand before starting any face painting design. This will not only prevent you from contaminating your gloves, or your hands if you don't use gloves, but will also ensure that the child you are attending too is not left to himself and risk getting hurt, by falling off the stool or by playing with some of your material or tools while you look for something.
Keep The Child Still And Under Surveillance At All Times Avoid having "distractions" that children will want to look at. If you have your designs on small posters, make sure the child being face painted doesn't see them when your working. A good way of keeping them still is by having a mirror so they can watch you do your thing. Sure, it's going to be less of a surprise when your done but they will appreciate seeing their faces evolve. And always have an eye on them. Never let yourself be distracted or led to tend to something else. Wait till your done
