Transform your child into a dashing bluebird with face paints and feathers.

Materials

• Dark green face paint
• Blue face paint
• Makeup brush and sponge

• Hat or headband
• Craft feathers
• Hot glue

Instructions

1. To create the eyes: Use a makeup brush and dark green face paint to color your child's upper and lower eyelids. Keep the shape circular, not oval.

2. To create the beak: Using the same paint shade as the eyes, start by covering the lower portion of your child's nose. Work downward across the center of his mouth, tapering the beak to a point in the center of his chin.

3. Cover the rest of his face with blue face paint -- use a sponge for the larger areas and a makeup brush for touching up around the eyes and beak.

4. Make the feathered cap by hot-gluing craft feathers onto a headband or an old knit hat.
