Plus, this rabbit face paint is great as it can be used on both boys and girls. Your kids won’t be able to stop rabbiting on about it!
To paint the rabbit face paint find a comfortable place to work and cover surfaces in case of any spillages. Water-based face paint is best as they wash off easily with soap and water, so no sore faces when the fun’s over! Snazaroo’s Rainbow Facepainting Kit has all the colours you’ll need for the rabbit face paint and more, from snazaroo.com (£12.49).
Face paint is safe to use on most skin types but always do a patch test of the paint on the back of your child’s hand. If there is no reaction in an hour or so it should be safe to use.
To create the rabbit face paint you will need:
A pot of clean water
Water-based face paint in white, pink and black
Face painting sponges
1 thick paintbrush
1 thin paintbrush
Rabbit face paint: for the white base
Using a clean sponge and white paint, create a base around the nose, covering the lower forehead and cheeks.
Rabbit face paint: for the cheeks
Using a clean brush and pink paint, draw 2 large arches over the eyes and highlight the nose. Next, create the rose cheeks using a sponge and the pink paint.
Rabbit face paint: for the teeth
Then, with a fine brush, apply the whiskers and eyebrows and define the mouth with black paint. Finish by adding 2 'teeth' beneath the lower lip.
