Face Painting Small Designs On Kids--Small Face Painting Designs Are So Much Fun!

I first started painting small face painting designs not that long ago. Yep, that's right; I never practiced face painting before. However, I do practice decorative painting and have been doing that on and off for years. I don't know if that gave me an edge on learning how to face paint, but I believe the learning curve was shortened because I had some artistic experience.

I don't even remember what made me think of trying face painting designs on my kids except that I was just walking through Michael's craft store with my five-year-old daughter at the time and saw a small face painting for kids face painting kit and thought it might be fun to try. I bought the Rainbow Face Painting Kit (that's what I used to paint the butterfly on her face in the picture to the left).

When we got home, I opened up the face painting kit, and realized that there weren't many designs to choose from. I went to the internet and found some small designs here and there that I thought I could copy. In addition, I looked at some YouTube videos.

After I did all this, I tried my first face painting butterfly design on my daughter (there are lots of butterfly stencils on Amazon), and I was hooked! It was so much fun, and she loved it! She loved it so much, that she ran across the street to tell her little friend to come over so that she could have her face painted too. Let me just say, the girls had fun that day, and Mom kept very busy!

Small Face Painting Designs On Cheeks

Face painting small designs are quick, easy & fun!

Face painting designs for kids

I think the easiest way to get started painting small face painting designs, is by face painting small designs on cheeks.

Your face painting designs can be simple, and face painting designs on cheeks can be done quickly.

After realizing that I truly enjoyed face painting, and understood the limitations of the small face painting kit that I purchased (the book that came with it only had a few designs in it), I scoured the internet for a face painting guide I could download immediately so I could start learning some more designs. This led me to a great Face Painting Design Book. I purchased it, and downloaded it right away.

What I liked about it was that every part of the book is based on what face painters like you and me wanted to know. It's not about being able to paint Picasso on someone's face, is being able to paint what the kids like. It's being able to paint the most popular cheek art designs for someone's birthday party, a charity event or a school party.

Small Face Painting Designs Are Not Just For The Face!

Face painting designs for kids

Face painting on other parts of the body besides the face is called body painting.

You can do some really cool small designs on different parts of the body such as this snake I did on my son's arm. It's not a large design--I just wrapped it around his arm and gave it some detail to make it look mean and nasty. This was a design I did very quickly and was actually pretty impressed with myself after completing it!

Other places to face paint--er, I mean body paint--on kids would be the back of their hands, ankles & wrists (you could paint anklets or bracelets), neck, and legs. Again, get creative! Easy Face Painting has plenty of ideas for you to choose from.
