Q: Loosen and re-wet the paint using warm water. Scrape away any flakes or thicker areas with a fingernail. Rinse the area until the bond between the paint and the skin beneath it begins to give way. Find a thick, soft hand towel and dip one corner into a container of acetone. Let any excess acetone drip off the towel before using it to treat paint spots on skin. Fold or bunch the rest of the hand towel up under the soaked corner to create a scrubbing surface. Acetone is a harsher substitute for the gentler rubbing alcohol, and should be used only when soap and water and alcohol have failed to remove the stain. One of acetone's most common uses is as nail polish remover, which means it's been proven to work effectively on dried on acrylic paints. Apply the acetone-soaked towel to the paint spot and hold it there for thirty seconds to a minute. The acetone may cause a slight burning or irritated sensation; this is normal. As you hold the towel over the spot, the acetone will eat away at the dried paint stain. Because of its mildly caustic properties, acetone is irritating to the skin, but is usually not dangerous. Make sure you have no known allergy or intolerance to acetone before using it to treat skin. Scour the spot with the corner of the hand towel. Once most of the paint has come away, rinse the towel with warm water and scrub again. This will continue to break down the paint stain while also removing the acetone from your skin. When the paint is completely gone, wash the area with mild soap and warm water and dry. Always wash skin after it has come into contact with acetone.
A: Run some warm water over the paint spot. Soak the corner of a hand towel with acetone. Press the towel to the paint spot. Wipe away any remaining paint and wash the skin.

Q: Everyone knows that Barbie has blonde hair, so if you really want to imitate Barbie's look you'll have to follow suit! If you really want to commit to the Barbie look, you'll probably need to bleach your hair to get that white-blonde effect. If you've never done this before, you should book an appointment with a professional hair stylist -- you don't want to ruin your hair! If you're not ready to commit to all-over bleach, you can lighten the color of your hair less dramatically using a blonde hair dye or by getting highlights. Again see a professional if you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself. But if you're simply trying to achieve the Barbie look for a costume party or fancy dress, a blond wig is your best option. This will give you perfect Barbie-blonde hair without the need for permanent color or dye. Barbie's hair is always perfect, without a strand out of place. If you decided to buy a blonde wig, your job is pretty much done, but styling your natural hair to look like Barbie requires a little more effort. Keep your hair in good condition by washing it frequently with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. This is important, as blonde hair color can be very drying. Keep your hair as long as possible, but make sure it's in good condition by getting it trimmed regularly. Barbie sometimes has bangs, so consider getting those cut in too. If you decide to wear your hair down, use a flat iron to make large, loose waves and use some hairspray to give your hair lots of volume. Alternatively, you can just wear your hair straight or tie it up in a high ponytail -- it depends on which Barbie look you're trying to achieve. Barbie has sun-kissed skin, something you can achieve by tanning your skin naturally or using self-tanner from a bottle. If you can tan naturally, you're lucky. However, you still need to take good care of your skin. Always wear sun-tan lotion while sunbathing to prevent sunburn and skin damage -- otherwise you will pay the price in later life. If you need to apply self-tanner, use one that builds up gradually and compliments your natural skin tone. Make sure to exfoliate well before applying -- this removes any rough or flaky skin and prevent the self-tanner from looking patchy. Regardless of whether your tan is natural or fake, you should moisturize your skin regularly with a hydrating lotion to keep your skin nice and soft. Barbie girls should always have perfectly manicured nails -- on fingers and toes. You can paint your nails yourself or go to a salon for a more professional finish. Obviously pink is the natural choice for Barbie nail color, but you could branch out a little by going for something like purple or orange -- as long as it's something bright and cheery. No dark colors, like red, purple or black (unless you wanna be a Goth Barbie!) Another good option is a French manicure -- light pink or peach base with a white tip. This is very classic and sophisticated and works well with the Barbie look. If you apply the nail polish yourself, try to be as neat as possible. Apply a single stroke of polish down the center of your nail, then do a second and third stroke on either side. Clean up any mistakes with a cotton bud dipped in nail polish remover. If you decide to get your nails done professionally, think about getting a gel manicure. These are more expensive than a regular manicure, but the polish will last for up to three weeks and won't chip or peel.
A: Go blonde. Style your hair. Get tan. Paint your nails.

Q: Pinning game kits are available for purchase in retail stores - specifically those that specialize in party materials. The upside to buying a kit is that it may be more convenient and save time. Purchasing a full game kit, however, may also be more expensive and less personal than making one yourself. For a cheaper option, hand draw a donkey on poster board. You may also consider printing your image from a computer. Make the donkey at least 12 inches wide and 18 inches tall. Standard kit sizes average 18-24 inches x 24-30 inches. Use game preparation as a party activity. Allow the children to draw or decorate a group donkey. Art activities help keep children engaged and entertained. Being the creators of the donkey makes it entirely "their game." Drawing the donkey together may allow for bonding and insight into worldly perceptions and imagination. Have each player make and decorate his or her own donkey tail. Use a variety of materials, such as string, paper, and ribbon. Get creative by adding beads or glitter as personal decoration. Write each player's name or initials somewhere on the tail. If labeling is not possible, make sure that the tails are unique enough to know who placed each one. Push a pin through or attach adhesive tape to one end of the tail for pinning. Place the image at an appropriate height for all participants. Choose mounting equipment based on donkey durability and personal preference. Options include adhesive tape or putty, tacks, and push pins. Note that sharp tacks and pins may hold better but are more dangerous and will leave small holes. Draw an "X" on the picture where the tail would normally be placed, as a reference point for determining a "winner."
A:
Buy a Pin the Tail on the Donkey kit. Make your own donkey. Have the kids be creators. Personalize donkey tails. Mount the donkey image on a vertical surface, such as a wall. Mark your donkey.
