There's a book called '100 Things for Kids to Make and Do' that has several ideas for costumes and face painting. Most of the time a face painting pattern is not actually something of material substance, but a set of directions and photographs of the steps and finished artwork. Many kids crafts books will have at least a small section with a face painting pattern of some sort. A bunny face is a simple face painting pattern to follow as well. An unusual pattern that isn't overused here in the United States is the panda face. It's best when used with a base of white over the whole face, big black spots surrounding the eye area, a black spot covering the end of the nose, black lips, and a black line from the base of the nose to the top lip.
