have you ever seen one of those lint rollers that you activate with water....these are sticky like that....like...really really really sticky. it's some sort of polymer like they make kids toys out of that you squeeze and the eyes bug out...or the squishy balls with things inside....it's that rubbery sticky stuff.... I mite use it on the face of a friend...but probably would not do it in general for kids faces at a venue. though...I have problems doing anything on a kids face that isnt face paint anyway....just for the removal factor.
