1. to Your Kid's Birthday Party
What Makes
Face Painting an
Exciting Addition

2. One of kids’ absolute favorite
activities at
birthday parties
summer day camp
sleepovers
is the chance to get their faces
painted.

3. Whether they want to morph into
superheroes and jungle animals
or just be adorned with pretty
flowers and butterflies,
kids are drawn to the sheer make-
believe and fun of face painting.

4. Kids at day camp love to
come home with a
happy lion face or
goofy cartoon character grin,
and this colorful, creative
activity …

5. … can be the perfect icing on the
cake (so to speak) at your child’s
birthday bash for a host of
happy reasons.

6. CHOOSE A THEME

7. Themed parties are always a big hit.
Your child will love to help plan a party
centered on his favorite
book, character, movie
or activity.

8. Pick a zoo-themed party for a young
animal lover,
a princess party for your
little princess or
a rambunctious pirate
style bash.

9. Themes lend themselves perfectly
to face art.
Together with cleverly coordinated
invites, games and cake,
face painting adds
a great element of fun.

10. IT’S A GREAT
ICE BREAKER

11. Face painting is a great way to get the
party going.
Whether you hire a professional or do it
yourself, kids will have a blast …

12. … choosing designs, watching their
friends get decorated
and getting right into character when
their new face is on.

13. Before you know it, your house or yard will
be a beehive of activity,
with princesses prancing about and
caped crusaders giggling at each other.

14. IT’S AN EASY WAY
TO PLAY DRESS-UP

15. Little ones love to play dress-up, whether
they’re acting out their favorite Disney
movie,
zooming around like a superhero or
swaggering about like a truly wicked pirate.

16. When you add face painting to birthday
party activities,
you’ll find kids will get right into character and
start up some lively games of make believe.

17. Kids will be using their imagination and
creativity while having a frolicking good
time,
and you won’t have to buy expensive
dress-up clothes or props.

18. IF YOU DECIDE
TO D.I.Y.

19. Rather than pay to hire a professional
party firm, you may choose to paint the
little faces yourself.

20. Just make sure that when you go the arts
and crafts store,
you buy non-toxic paints made
especially for face painting.

21. Unlike theatrical paints, face paints are
easy to remove and non-greasy.

22. Put together a book of designs for kids to
choose from,
and be sure to seat the child in a chair or
other safe place while you are painting.

23. Make sure they keep the eyes closed
during the process
and don’t ever put glitter on the
face, as there is no safe glitter.

24. IF YOU OPT FOR
A PROFESSIONAL

25. You may opt to hire a
professional face painter,
some of whom have
even gone to art school.

26. Companies who provide
face painting services may
also offer bundles including
other party fun like:
balloon twisting
clowns
photo booths

27. Ask for recommendations
from friends or check
locally based websites
like Angie's List for
potential party artists.

28. Before you hire:
• Browse photos of the
company’s work to be sure
it’s the style you’re looking for.
• Ask if they provide all supplies
and whether there are extra
fees.

29. Be sure the company uses
all non-toxic products,
and it’s a big plus if they
conduct background
checks on employees.

30. Let your kids enjoy the face
painting experience at
Maplewood Summer Day Camp.

child both safe and busy with:
