Face Painting - How to make Spider Man

 

Most young kids love having their face painted at home. Of course, it is always handy if you are a good artist but if you a like me, your kids will be impressed with their new look. The secret is having a good idea of what you want to draw in the first place.

Materials Required for Spiderman: Red, White and Black face paint pens

1. Draw outline around nose and eyes as shown

2. Draw another line starting at the bottom corner of each eye to the edge of the face and then join the lines together with curves lines to respresent spider webs. 

3. Colour in between spider webs with red face paint and then draw line and colour in above brow line.

4. Draw spider in between eyes 

5. Draw lines running up from eyes to top of forehead and the webs webs in between

6. Colour eyes white

What's On - Christmas in Melbourne

It's still only November but Christmas has already started in Melbourne. Today we took Daniel & Benjamin to see SANTA and the MYER WINDOWS.

As the city is always busy at this time of year we decided to travel by train to Spenser Street Station. Once there the queues for the windows can be quite long but this year it is definitely worth the wait.

Once finished head up to level 6 in MYER. Children can visit Santa in his house and go on a train ride around the outside of his house. The great news is that while you wait you are standing alongside TV screens. My kids were able to sit back and watch some of a Christmas movie with their Nana while I waited in the queue for a while.


Take a look at the photos to get an idea of what you'll see this year.
