Kids love having their faces painted: witness the long lines at the carnival face-painting booth, or the popularity of temporary tattoos. With Making Faces, they can move far beyond those simple images to elaborate full-face designs mimicking animals (bear, tiger, dinosaur, rabbit), humanoid characters (harlequin, clown, witch, wizard), striking scenery (Egyptian sunset, tropical island, underwater landscape), kooky motifs (all-over patterns of rainbow and clouds, ice-cream cone, clock, star-lit or bat-filled sky), and more. Instructions for each include helpful step-by-steps for the face, some easy headgear or accessories directions (such as animal ears, fairy garland, pirate eye patch), simple costume suggestions, and tips for makeup application or further embellishment. If your kids are still stumped for a costume, just dress them in wildly patterned or very colorful clothes and make up their faces to match the fabric. --Amy Handy
