  • Washcloths, wipes, or paper towels (just in case)

Directions

  1. Step 1

    For Boots' face, paint the outline in a gray color--about an inch from the edge of the face.

  2. Step 2

    Paint a figure 8 sideways in a dark pink across the tip of the nose, going past the nostrils.

  3. Step 3

    Color in the figure 8 with pink.

  4. Step 4

    Draw smile lines from the corners of the mouth in the same color pink.

  5. Step 5

    Paint dimple lines on the ends of the smile lines.

  6. Step 6

    Brush big pink cheeks with a bright pink blush.

  7. Step 7

    Brush the blush on the bridge of the nose over the forehead and chin, staying inside the gray line.

Tip: Kids can help with their face paint. Place a chair near a mirror so they can add the nose or cheek blush, for instance.
