Valentine's Day Face Painting for Kids; Make a Spider Heart or a Cute Heart Design

Valentine's Day I always associate it with hearts, being romantic, giving and receiving love and chocolates. Women always like to make their hair and makeup for this special holiday, but what about kids?

Just because a child might be too young to wear certain adult makeup for Valentine's Day, why not do a heart theme, rose theme, heart shape animals, teddy bears, Valentine princess, or maybe even a heart castle could be done using face paint? It's all about how your creativity flows and what you can do to make it special for your child.

Kids love St. Valentine's Day, it allows them to have fun, and express their love to everyone in their life. Here are so ideas I hope you parents will enjoy.

Heart Face Painting Ideas

Heart with arrows, double heart, heart with flower, flowerpot with heart shaped flower, bunny with floppy heart ears, heart in balloon, hands holding a heart, heart with wings, heart sunset, heart with a swirly rainbow, music note with a heart, or you can even make a cute spider heart on the face. The ideas here are endless.

How To Make A Spider Heart

Just because boys usually favor bugs and spiders girls enjoy them too. Prepare the face, make sure the skin is free of all oils and completely dry.

Next using a red non-toxic face paint draw a fat heart on the cheek of face. Then using the white create two circle eyes, and add two tiny black dots for the middle of each eye.

Take your black paint and draw a hump from the one side of the heart to the other. This should now look like a ball with a heart in the middle of it.

Using a very fine paint brush create 4 skinny legs coming out of the Valentine spider.

Heart Shaped Animals

Do you enjoy easy crafts for kids? Well, animal crafts for Valentine's Day are huge. Take these ideas and turn them into face painting. For instance if you go to websites like dltk choose your favorite animal and create it on your child. Forget the paper be more creative. Easy ones would be a heart dog, fish, ladybug, mouse, caterpillar, or a bunny. It doesn't have to be perfect, your child just cares that they have a special painting on their face.
