Homemade Face Paint

Found this site today for homemade face paint.

All you need is cornflour (cornstarch), milk and food colouring/dye and small brushes.

It washes off really easily as well!

Have a look and try it out here.

Bird Faces/Masks

Sticking with the face/mask theme here is another paper plate activity.


Materials

• Paper plates
• coloured card
• Googly eyes
• Crayons/markers
• Glue

I think this one is fairly self explanatory. :)

 

Lion Faces

We made these masks in conjunction with an African theme and week and on the day we watched 'The Lion King'. This is quite an easy craft with plenty of opportunities for kids to extend themselves if they wish.


Materials

• Paper plates
• Tissue Paper- Yellow and Orange
• Glue
• Scissors
• Markers

Method

1. To streamline the process I think it's a good idea to cut strips of tissue paper in preparation for this activity so kids can just focus on the making.
2. Glue strips of tissue paper around edges of the plate to form the mane.
3. Using the marker draw a face in the middle.
4. To extend this activity you can also make a body out of felt.
