Craft Day

Face Painting on Ariel

Here's a simple activity that my daughter loves. Instead of painting on her face, I set a table up with face paint, brushes, wipes, water and the face painting guide book (she likes to choose a design from the book).
She loves to face paint on Ariel. This gives her great pleasure... sorry Ariel.
