1. The first step is to draw the body of the butterfly (formerly known as a caterpillar). Use a dark face crayon (black) and start by drawing two horizontal ovals for the head, a long (vertical) oval for the body and two lines for antennas on top of the head.
2. Using a contrasting color (red), draw the top outline of the wings, going up and curving around the eyebrow area.
3. Draw the bottom portion of the outline of the wings in the same color (red).
4. Using a lighter color (white), highlight the inside of the wings by tracing the shape just inside of the outer wing lines.
5. Use another color (blue) to fill in the remaining space on the inside of the wings, blending as you go.
6. Add some contrast to the wings using the original dark color used for the body (black).
7. Use a gel glitter (silver) with a thin face paint brush and paint the glitter over the contrasting lines drawn in step 6.
8. Sit back and admire your work – all done!

We had bubbles and balloons modelling for our terminally ill sons birthday on Sunday. I could have cried watching him . and his little friends and the sheer joy that this bought to them. I have never seen Noah get so stuck in to anything but even managed to do the bubble wand on his own! It was truly magical! I’m not sure actually who enjoyed it the most, the children or the adults! My 11 year old god son said “this is amazing, I feel like a 3 year old again!”. Great customer service and Cheryl was lovely. Can’t wait to use little party heaven again! Thank you so much, you have given us memories to treasure forever xxx read more

What a fantastic company! We’ve used Little Party Heaven at a couple of our events and they are always incredibly . helpful and professional. The children LOVE all the activities, particularly the bubble play. We recently had a Christmas party at our company premises and all the children extremely enjoyed having their faces festively painted! We will most certainly be using this company again, especially as you offer such a variety of fun. Thank you so much for making our events so special! read more

Thank you for organising the animal encounters for Poppy’s Party, I was amazed at how up-close the children could get . to the animals. Needless to say the children loved it – especially the birthday girl, Poppy, who was in ‘cloud 9’ being near so many animals. Gary and Nicky were so good with the children and delivering an enjoyable and educational experience, whilst being absolutely delightful company. Can’t recommend them and your services highly enough. read more

DIY :: Butterfly Face Painting How-To

My very creative friend, Vicki, is an art teacher and a face painting pro (she painted over 500 in one day at a school event!). For her daughter’s Pink Princess Birthday Party she painted adorable butterflies on all of the little princesses’ cheeks, and below is a simple how-to and free printable template so you can do some butterfly face paining of your own.

1. The first step is to draw the body of the butterfly (formerly known as a caterpillar). Use a dark face crayon (black) and start by drawing two horizontal ovals for the head, a long (vertical) oval for the body and two lines for antennas on top of the head.
2. Using a contrasting color (red), draw the top outline of the wings, going up and curving around the eyebrow area.
