Common questions
How do you get green face paint off kids?
Wash with gentle cleanser and soap the same night, not just water. Green needs soap. Moisturize after and never let them sleep in it.
What if the cone hat will not stay on?
Tape a bobby pin inside the hat and clip it to the hair. Cone hats are top-heavy and slide without an anchor.
