Christmas face painting designs for kids at your party
If you would rather book a painter: from 500,000₫ an hour.
Christmas face painting designs for kids work best when you match them to the party: small designs on the hand for a busy class, full faces for a relaxed family gathering. This guide shows how to choose, using designs that appear in our photo gallery.
Small hand designs for children who will not sit still
Some children sit happily while the artist paints. Others are gone after a few seconds. For the second group, a design on the back of the hand is a gentle option. Our gallery has two photos of Santa Claus painted on the back of a hand. The design is small, easy to recognise, and your child does not have to close their eyes or tilt their head back.
A hand design also suits a child who is already wearing a hat or a costume that covers most of the face, or one who does not want paint on the cheeks yet. If they enjoy it, they can ask for another design during the party.
Reindeer, snowflakes and Santa: designs we have real photos of
From the photos in the gallery, Christmas designs fall into a few groups:
- Santa Claus on the back of a hand.
- A blue and white snowflake on a girl's face.
- A snowflake on the face, with a snowman on the arm.
- A snowflake face design for a child in a white wig.
- A snowflake mask for a child dressed as an ice queen.
- Reindeer antlers and a red nose on a boy's face.
- A snowflake on the face with Frozen art on the arm.
The quickest way to choose is to look at the outfit. A white wig or an ice queen costume pairs naturally with a snowflake. A child who loves animals will enjoy the red-nosed reindeer. A Frozen fan can pick the snowflake with art on the arm. If the design you have in mind is not in the photos, message the artist and ask instead of guessing.
How many children fit into one hour
We estimate that each artist paints about 10 to 15 faces per hour, depending on the design. Treat it as a planning estimate: the more detail in a design, the longer each child sits.
A simple way to plan: divide the number of children by 10 to 15, and you get the hours needed with a single artist. Larger parties can add artists, up to 5. When a whole class wants a Christmas design, small hand designs keep the queue short.
Our prices are public on the pricing page: 500,000₫ for 1 hour and 900,000₫ for 2 hours. Anything longer than 2 hours is negotiated separately. For the painting spot, prepare 1 table and 2 chairs. If you are outdoors, pick a shaded spot. If it rains, we move indoors.
Why to book a Christmas date early
Christmas is when many places hold parties. Message us about the date as soon as you settle on it, before you send invitations to parents.
When you write, tell us how many children are coming, the start time, whether the party is indoors or outdoors, and which designs your child likes. Children can choose a design before you book, so show them the photos first. If your child has sensitive skin, tell us before booking; we cannot promise that every colour suits every child. Other occasions through the year, such as Halloween and Mid-Autumn, are on our festivals and holidays page.
Quick answers about Christmas face painting
Can my child choose a design before the party? Yes. Let your child look at the gallery, pick one, and send us the design when you book.
What if my child will not sit for a full face? Try a small design on the back of the hand, like the Santa. Children may get curious once they see friends being painted, and you do not need to push.
What happens if it rains? We move indoors. You only need 1 table and 2 chairs in a dry spot.
