Face painting is a fun treat for children at luau-themed parties.
Hawaii is often associated with vibrant colors and images of a tropical paradise. If you are throwing a Hawaiian luau-themed party, face painting with hypoallergenic paints can contribute to the fun and festive atmosphere of the celebration. Children will enjoy having their face painted to coordinate with the party's theme and décor. Does this Spark an idea?
Flowers, Fruits and Landscapes
Some of the most distinctive images from Hawaii are the flowers that make up the lush tropical landscapes. These flowers are perfect for face painting designs. If you're not comfortable painting flowers by hand, try using stencils of pictures you have found on the internet. Hawaiian flower choices include hibiscus, birds of paradise and orchids. You can also try painting palm trees with coconuts gathered underneath the leaves. Other symbols of Hawaii are the fresh island fruits that grow there. Try painting pineapples, coconuts, bananas and grapes.
People and Culture
Use face paint to convey some of the different people and images that make up the culture of Hawaii. For example, water sports are a major draw to the Hawaiian shores every year. Paint surfers, water skiers, snorkelers and scuba divers. Hula dancing is a well-known practice of the Hawaiian people. Paint hula dancers, complete with floral leis and swaying grass skirts. Again, if you don't feel comfortable drawing by hand, download stencils or trace photos from a book.
Widlife
Children will love having their face painted with images of the animal wildlife to Hawaii. Paint dolphins jumping out of the ocean, parrots, whales, sharks, geckos and seals. Because Hawaii is a collection of islands, it should come as no surprise that fish are perhaps the most plentiful wildlife of the region. In fact, there are more than 680 different species of fish living in the ocean surrounding Hawaii.
