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.
