Review

Knees, elbows, fingertips -- any skin area invites artistic self-expression with washable, non-toxic cosmetic crayons. Delightful instructions gently lead children from basic techniques to the creation of colorful hand and finger puppets (people and animals), fist faces, "knee pals," temporary (thank goodness!) "tattoos," rings, wrist watches, necklaces and more. It's a blend of art and theater as each kind of embellishment elicits a change of persona or inspires dramatic play. A 2000 Parents' Choice® Gold Award winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Body Crayon Book., January 16, 2000

By A Customer

This is an excellent beginner book for young and old face and body painters. It offers very nice design that are fun to do. It also includes body pencil instead of messy face paint. It is great to use at parties or any children event.

5.0 out of 5 stars great, January 20, 2003

My granddaughter who is 7 loved this even more than I thought she would. She shares it with her friends and took it to 'show and tell' at school (a sure sign that she likes it) and it is very easy to clean off.

This review is from: The Body Crayon Book (Klutz) (Spiral-bound)

My 4.5yo and 2yo daughters love this book and are always asking me to draw designs on them. The only thing I don't like about it is that, unlike conventional face paint, the designs do not dry on the skin. They can rub off at any point... and the colors stain, black especially. :(
