Decorate Yourself

Forget the paper and poster board--use your own body as the backdrop for colorful creations. Paint your face like a lion and roar with delight. Stencil a daisy on your arm for summer fun. With Mom or Dad's help, any youngster can turn into a pirate, a princess, or a calico cat. Older kids can adorn a shoulder with a galloping zebra or tickle some toenails with a tropical scene. All the techniques from face painting to henna tattooing are described in detail and accompanied by color photos illustrating the before, during, and after of the process. Safety tips, equipment lists, and patterns for hundreds of designs are included.
