Materials Needed

cardstock
Sharpie (is there any other kind?)
scissors
craft knife
medical or dancers tape
face painting kit (start with a kit and narrow it down from there)
rubber gloves (seriously your crafting life will change after buying gloves)
qtips
tissue
makeup remover liquid
makeup remover wipes
makeup blending sponges

Now, when picking a stencil you can always ask your child what they would like to have painted on their face. Unless you are an amazing artist I suggest you going on the simple side. With it being Halloween stencils like bats, Jack o Lanterns, spiders, witches, and the like are most often used. You can do face painting year around and finding a theme is always a good idea so that you already have ideas in your head and so you can limit the crazy ideas that kids will come up with. This post is a really good starting point if you have never face painted before: How to Face Paint for Beginners.

You can find a set of great Halloween stencils that you can print off. I recommend printing them off on cardstock and cutting them out with scissors or a craft knife. The cardstock makes it easier to not tear when you are trying to use it as a stencil. Once it is cut out you can chose to use some tape to hold it in place. This isn't completely necessary because most stencils are going to be around 2″ in length and not much bigger than that.

Have some fun with your children this Halloween and be creative with these printable stencils or you can buy a set of Halloween stencils on Amazon. If you are artistic you can bypass the whole printable stencil and just go straight for drawing and cutting out your own unique designs that your child will love because you know what? You know your child better than anyone else and you know what they will want painted on their face.
