Face painting is a big part of carnival tradition. It is very popular and a great way to join in Go Wild from home. On the next few pages we have put together some links and tips to get you started if you are new to face painting and something to inspire the advanced face painters out there.
Tools and Tips

They also have clear instructions on painting a very cool rainbow tiger
