Painted Faces

You shouldn't have high expectations of face paint sets. Particularly of your own capabilities if you have trouble even drawing reasonable smiley faces or stick men. Don't you think Alyssa's vampire effort on my mug is the best of the lot? Believe it or not Brooke and Alyssa are meant to be tigers (I was trying to copy the only picture on the box) and Taya is a butterfly because she couldn't stop grabbing the sponge long enough for me to do anything more detailed (i.e. I couldn't think of anything else). The real trouble is when they all run around rubbing their faces on furniture and clothes leaving patches of orange. And then again when you have to try and scrub it off in the bath.

Fortunately the set will be used up soon and my artistic shortcomings can remain hidden again.

You are so brave... I don't think I would have the courage to introduce face paint in the house, like I didn't introduce paint... Jeanne probably thinks that paint is something you get in children centres exclusively...
