to have fun and to entertain - as is the case with the projects in
this book! You can paint yourself for special occasions, costume
parties, school plays or to go to a wonderful street carnival.Even
putting on ordinary make-up is a form of face painting. With little

become a cunning leopard, an Egyptian queen, a scary vampire or
even Santa Claus. So, go on and transform yourself, a friend or
even your parents! There is no end of fun to be had.

Children five years and older will develop fine motor skills, feed
their creativity, and discover new uses for everyday objects. A
ranking system for craft difficulty levels is included, from one
star to four stars, for stress-free project selection.
