Body painting, or sometimes bodypainting, is a form of body art. Unlike tattoo and other forms of body art, body painting is temporary, painted onto the human skin, and lasts for only several hours, or at most (in the case of Mehndi or "henna tattoo") a couple of weeks. Body painting that is limited to the face is known as face painting or hand painting for hand. Body painting is also referred to as (a form of) temporary tattoos; large scale or full-body painting is more commonly referred to as body painting, while smaller or more detailed work is generally referred to as temporary tattoos.


Hand Art is about everything you can make with hand tracings: dragons, frogs, dogs, aliens, ducks, cats, monsters, skunks, peacocks, people and, yes, turkeys. Since every creature needs essential details, we included essential-detail makers: googly eyes, glue, pompoms and crayons. The book itself is crammed with handfuls of inspiration and handy ideas developed by our staff of art experts, kindergarteners all.
