based on 27 ratings

Every fair and amusement park has one thing that all kids love: a face painting booth! Although you might not be able to make it to the fair this year, you can bring a little of it into your house with this simple activity. Mix your own face paint at home using cold cream, corn starch, and food coloring--yes, it's that easy! This activity is great for beating boredom because your child will get to become something else for a little while. In ten minutes you can go from "I'm bored!" to delight and laughter. It's easy, fun, creative, and can be done all year long!

What You Need:

  • 2 tablespoons of cold cream, or other thick face cream
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • Food coloring in assorted colors
  • Paper plate
  • Small paintbrushes
  • Optional: stencils
