Editorial Reviews
A wonderful introduction to this fun activity. She begins by firing readers' imaginations with, "You can become ...," then digs right in explaining what supplies are needed. She includes step-by-step instructions for 16 of the most commonly requested faces, rules for safety, and the all-important cleanup tips. Clear, full-color photographs and drawings of children in the makeup accompany the instructions. These simple illustrations are charming and helpful, leaving no doubt as to what supplies are needed. Except for the face paint itself, most of these items are readily available — it is an excellent choice for beginners, providing basic information and delightful examples.
