Libraries / Schools / Camps / Churches

✨ Sparkly makeovers / imaginative face designs / creative adventures

Once Upon a Face – where imagination comes alive, one sparkle at a time! This program combines creativity, playful self-expression, and hands-on fun, designed for libraries, schools, camps, kids clubs, and community programs. Children choose from glittery face designs, fun body gems, and temporary tattoos, transforming themselves into whimsical characters or colorful creatures while exploring color, pattern, and creativity.

The program can be offered as:

  • A single, one-hour event, perfect for storytime tie-ins, seasonal programming, or special celebrations.

  • A multi-session series, allowing children to experiment with different designs, learn new techniques, and showcase their creations at a final “Sparkle Celebration” event.

This activity is designed to be accessible for mixed-age groups and requires minimal setup. Each session typically includes a welcoming introduction, demonstration of designs, hands-on application, and optional sharing time where children show off their glittery creations.

The program nurtures creativity, boosts confidence, and encourages children to explore self-expression in a fun, safe, and sparkly way. It’s a perfect addition to seasonal programming, birthday events, pop-up activities, or enrichment initiatives for educational and community organizations.

📋 Sessions Breakdown

  1. Welcome & Introduction
    Children are greeted warmly and introduced to the session. The facilitator explains how safe, skin-friendly glitters, face paints, and body gems can be used to create exciting designs. Participants are encouraged to think creatively and express themselves.

  2. Design Demonstration
    The facilitator demonstrates simple, playful designs, including stars, hearts, rainbows, animals, or whimsical patterns. Children are invited to choose their favorite designs or mix and match elements to create unique looks.

  3. Hands-On Application
    Children apply glitter tattoos, body gems, or face paint with guidance from the facilitator. Older children can work more independently, while younger ones receive additional support. This step encourages fine motor skills, creativity, and self-expression.

  4. Optional Sharing & Wrap-Up
    Sessions conclude with a sharing moment, where participants show their glittery faces and reflect on their creations. This reinforces pride in accomplishment, builds confidence, and fosters social engagement.
