How to make and paint great looking planets with school paints.  This great idea is from Sarah on the brilliant Paper Crafts for Children Blog. 
This is idea for both acrylics and tempera paints.

 Make the Milky Way background with old toothbrush 

When I saw this idea I was a bit suspicious as it looked too effective for the simple steps

I thought it may have taken a long time or many practice runs to achieve this affect. But not so, it really is quite simple. Note that this is my attempt, not a child’s, but it is my first attempt.

Pop your black paper in a box to protect the general surround from paint, or head outside.
Then to make the Milky Way background – splatter some white paint onto a black piece of paper by flicking it on with an old toothbrush

Start off your planets by drawing some circles on your paper and then use a rag or a piece of sponge to drag paint on in a curve. Use one colour from one side and then use a different colour from the other side. The colours will mix up a bit but that just adds to the effect.


Use one colour from one side and then use a different colour from the other side

Then put this bit of paper in a box to contain the splatters, and splatter some contrasting colours onto the planets.

Once everything is dry, cut out the planets and arrange them on the Milky Way for a very effective space scene. 
Now you just need a few space crafts or Martians

The Tempera paint that is used in the school classroom is simply a ‘Temporary’ paint. A colourful paint that is water-soluble allowing it to be washed from surfaces quickly and easily making ideal for educational use or where groups of children are painting.

There is a lot of confusion between traditional "Egg Tempera" and todays Tempera Poster paint. Some parents that have children with allergies google 'Tempera Paint' and find 'egg tempera' and the confusion starts.
Egg Tempera:
Egg Tempera is one of the oldest mediums for fine art painting, dating back to Roman Egypt and used by most of the Great Masters of the Renaissance. It is made with egg yolk and is a permanent fast-drying paint. It is very hard to find today as few brands make it.

Face painting is great fun to do and so easy to learn. Anyone can enjoy face painting you don’t need to be an artist. Before you start, have a good understanding of face painting safety.

Painting people is very different from just painting paper. Health and safety is everything!! Selecting healthy face paint is critical.There are so many brands and types of face paint on the market.

This is best suited for the schools, fun days, fairs, sport events.You get more for your money and it goes a long way. Make-Up: This is not paint at all but more like a make-up compound.The make-up type is easier to apply but is very expensive and you normally get very little for your money.

WARNING:
You are about to paint onto the skin of children and maybe leaving the paint on the skin for sometimes hours. So being careful not to purchase a watered down poster paint that might be harmful is critical.
