Scrape off as must excess paint as you can with a Kitchen knife, or a similar tool.
Make a solution of soapy water, using a cup of warm water, add a squirt of washing up liquid, making sure it does not contain bleach.
Using a cloth or sponge - dip it in the solution and dab the stain. Working from the outside in.
If the paint does not start to dissolve in the soapy water then you may need to soak the stain for a few minutes.
When you have started to dissolve some of the paint then use a tissue to blot up the paint filled fluid that you are creating. You can also use a little clean water to help be sure to get up all the coloured paint.

If it still won't come out try a little bit of dish detergent.
