    Oh wow – this is brilliant! Thanks for the tip, I had one happy four year-old the other day with a face full of ordinary face paint I could hardly get off in the end. I have to try this recipe! :)

    It’s amazingly simple! One natural food coloring company we prefer is India Tree, which can be found on Amazon.com. Good luck and Happy HalloGREEN!
