Face painting and a bouncy castle is a classic combo - espcially for 3-7 year olds.
But many Bouncy Castle companies are increasingly reluctant to allow any-old face paints on their castles due to staining and longer term damage. This is mostly due to cheap face paints that you can now buy on Amazon/Temu etc... but it can also happen with certain well known brands of paint colours.
But this can be avoided if you follow these top tips:
Hire a professional face painter who uses reputable paint brands and knows which colours/brands to avoid.
Keep the space cool because colour transfer mostly happens when the children get hot and sweaty and their face paints start melting off. So keep a few windows open even in the winter so the children can cool off - the adults might just need to keep their coats on!
Make sure you spot check the castle for any smears with a damp cloth every 15 minutes during the party. The sooner it's wiped off the better. You can even get the kids involved - there is always a child that loves being given a job to do.
Be careful with glitter tattoos - make sure the glitter tattoos are fully dried before children jump on the castle or just don't have them at the party. Glitter tattoo glue is another thing that Bouncy Castle owners struggle to get off and it collects more dirt and make the castle look grubby.
Let your me know if you're having a Bouncy Castle. I'll make sure I have my dry oil spray which gets any residue off and I'll give it a once over at the end of the party. (Stubborn colours are best removed with oil-based cleaners never try strong household cleaners as it damages the fabric).
I'm one of the recommended suppliers for 1-2-3 Bounce in Oxfordshire - they have a massive selection of Bouncy Castles.
We all want your little one to have the best party EVER!
