To paint the spider mask, find a comfortable place to work and cover surfaces in case of spillages and messy hands. Using a water-based face paint is best as they wash off your child's skin easily with soap and water. Face paint is safe to use on most skin types but always do a patch test of the paint on the back of your child's hand. If there is no reaction in an hour or so it should be safe to use. Wash the paint off with soap and warm water immediately if your child does experience any discomfort.

To create the spider mask face paint idea you will need:

  • A pot of clean water

  • Water-based face paint in silver, metallic purple, black and red

  • Face painting sponges

  • 1 thick, no.3 round paintbrush
