Instructions
Painting a Cool Tiger Face
1. Sponge white face paint above and below the lips, making a muzzle. Clean the paint off the sponge in a bowl of water and apply some orange paint on the sponge. Lightly coat the perimeter of the face with orange paint. Clean the sponge once more and use it to paint yellow on the rest of the face.
2. Allow the base face paint to dry. Dip a thin paintbrush in black face paint. Gently brush black on the nostrils and some of the nose. Make stripes with the black paint around the face. Wash off the brush and apply white paint. Intersperse white stripes in between the black ones.
3. Clean the brush and apply black paint. Dot the paint on the white muzzle area near the mouth. Outline the white stripes with black as well.
4. Let your tiger cub take a look in a mirror to see the results. Allow the paint to dry completely before granting permission to roam the jungle.
5. When the fun is done, wash the paint off with warm water and towel dry gently. Encourage your youngster to collaborate next time and create customized designs.
