Step 1

Start by gathering the materials for your hairdo.

Step 2

Start by drawing a U shape with a pencil to form the face. Then, draw two circles for the eyes and a smaller U shape for the smile. Once you have the face, you can grab colored pencils and color in features. We added pink cheeks to our face!

Step 3

Once you are satisfied with your face outline, you can go over it with a sharpie and draw in the eyes.

Step 4

Now, color in your face with colored pencils and add any addition features like ears or a nose.

Step 5

Add paint to a paper plate or paint tray, and get ready to add a fun hairdo to your portrait! Dip the fork in paint and make strokes upward to form hair. You can create any hairstyle you like—down, a ponytail, a bun, a braid—the options are endless.

Step 6

Now your hairdo craft is complete! Gift your beautiful painting to your friends or grown-ups.
