Face painting is suitable for children over 3 years old.  2 year olds can have a small design on their hand only.  Under 2s cannot be painted.

• We cannot paint anyone who appears to have a skin disorder, open wound, cold sores, conjunctivitis etc.
• Face paint should be removed with soap, water and a face cloth within 8 hours and should not be worn overnight.
• Do not remove face paint with baby wipes; this can cause staining on the skin and sometimes reaction
• Some colours may linger on the skin, do not scrub, simply allow the face to settle and repeat the removal procedure.
• Face paint should not be worn for long periods in the sun, it has no protection.
• Face paints can, on rare occasions, cause an allergic reaction.  If your child has not had their face painted before we recommend a patch test so please speak to the team to arrange this.  A patch test will be monitored after 60 minutes to check for a reaction.
• All paints comply with EU and FDA regulations.
• Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times; we cannot take responsibility for children standing in the queue and they can be refused painting without an adult.
• Without prejudice we reserve the right to refuse painting anyone we deem unsuitable.
