School fairs and community days run on children and families. Face painting gives them something to join in on and something to take home. Isadora paints on location at school and community events across Christchurch and Canterbury.

She works exclusively with professional, cosmetic-grade, skin-safe face and body paint, the same standard used across the professional face painting industry.

Planning for a queue of children

At a school fair, children tend to arrive together. The design you choose shapes how many can be painted: quick cheek art suits a long queue, and fuller, jewelled designs suit a smaller group.

Isadora will help you plan the right format and duration for your guest count. Tell her how many children you expect and how long the event runs.

Skin-safe paint and sensitivities

Isadora uses professional, cosmetic-grade, skin-safe paint. Always let her know about any known sensitivities beforehand. For a school, it can help to remind families before the day so they can mention a sensitivity when you enquire.

School colours, themes and fundraisers

A bespoke palette and design concept is agreed before the day, so the designs can follow your school's colours, a fair theme or a fundraiser. Tell Isadora what you have in mind when you enquire.

What to tell Isadora about your fair or community event

  • The date, the hours and where it is held.
  • Roughly how many children you expect.
  • Whether the event has a theme, school colours or a cause.
  • Where Isadora would set up, and whether it is indoors or outdoors.
  • Any known skin sensitivities.

Isadora also paints at community days and fundraising events across Christchurch and Canterbury. Travel scope is confirmed at the time of booking. For other kinds of day, see face painting for events in Christchurch.
