Here's an easy recipe for homemade facepaint. The colors are not as vibrant as the professional paints but the reality is --- your child doesn't mind this at all (and it is a lot cheaper too)!

You and your child can even have fun making this in the kitchen. I find facepainting a fun activity during bathtime where your little one can have a go and paint his whole body.

Facepaint Recipe

1 tsp corn starch
1/2 tsp water
1/2 tsp cold cream
food coloring

Stir together starch and cold cream until well blended. Add water and stir, then add food coloring. Use a small paint brush to paint designs on your child's face. This facepaint can easily be removed with mild soap and water. Store in airtight container.
