Mickey Mouse Craft
You only need a few basic supplies, so it’s budget-friendly and low-mess. Just grab the kids, set out the materials, and get ready to make something magical!
Need a pro tip for this family-friendly craft? We discovered that coated paper plates use much less paint, making them less messy and conserving supplies for your next rainy day project.
Supplies
- Paper plate
- Black paint
- Colored card stock
- Markers
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Tape (optional)
- Minnie & Mickey Mouse template (click the “click here to get your freebie” image at the end of the post)
Directions
Start by downloading and printing the template. Once the template is printed, gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring Minnie & Mickey Mouse to life!

First, guide your child to paint one whole paper plate black. Paint two other paper plates black in the center of the plate only (just outside the center circle line). Let dry completely. Glue the black nose just slightly below the curved nose line.

Next, help your child to place Mickey’s eyes on his face, with the bottoms of the eyes on the curved nose line.

Use the black marker to outline each of Mickey’s eyes.

Finish Mickey’s mouth by using the light pink marker to draw in his tongue. Next, use the dark pink marker to fill in the rest of his mouth.


Cover the backside of Mickey’s face with glue and position it in the middle of the black paper plate.

Finally, encourage your child to use the tape or glue stick to glue Mickey’s ears to the top, and backside of the paper plate.
