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.

Pin

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

Pin

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.
