It’s a round canvas– have a ball! (watch out, it kicks!)

Are you pregnant and bored? Here’s an idea that some may find fun: Belly painting, brought to you by Pregnancy & Baby!

Get out the face paints and have yourself a ball! You can get creative by using the brush end-on to create pointillism (paint in dots). Try other techniques such as sponge painting, finger painting, or stencils. Get your kids involved and paint a welcome message with lip-prints kisses, hand prints and hearts.

If you don’t have any face paints availible, you can use the following mixture for each color:

  • 1 teaspoon corn starch
  • 1/2 teaspoon water
  • 1/2 teaspoon cold cream
  • Food coloring

Feeling really wild? Try it at your baby shower or with a group of other pregnant friends!

Oh my!!!!
