Mickey Mouse Crafts for Birthdays, Christmas, and More!

Mickey Mouse-themed birthday parties are really popular with toddlers and preschoolers. Here are some crafts you can make as party decorations, as well as crafts kids can during the party.

How to Make a Mickey Mouse Head Pinata

My kids always loved pinatas at their birthday parties! This pinata isn’t “difficult,” exactly, although making it is somewhat time-consuming. Expect it to take the better part of an afternoon.

Use a “Mickey head” template to cut two Mickey heads out of cereal boxes. Then cut a strip of cardboard that connects the two heads around the edges, creating a “Mickey box” to put the candy in.

Tape a string behind the ears and cover it with red and black tissue paper.

DIY Mickey Mouse Pom Poms

I remember making pom poms when I was a kid (although mine never turned out as nice as the ones below!)

This could be a nice party craft for kids to make and take home. All you need are scissors, black, red, and yellow yarn, and a pom pom maker.

Depending on their ages, kids might need some adult assistance, especially with the scissors.

Mickey Mouse Bookmark Craft

Here’s another cute craft that creates an instant party favor for your little guests!

Paint a jumbo craft stick red, then print and cute out the Mickey head templates on white cardstock and the Mickey shirt template on black cardstock. Draw on a face with marker, glue together the pieces, and add two mini buttons.

Make Your Own Mickey Mouse Shirt

Here’s another neat idea that would be great for a party and allows kids to be creative. Order some Hanes t-shirts and use a heat transfer vinyl to put Mickey heads on them. Then give each kid their own shirt and some fabric paint and let them go to town!

Mickey Mouse Picture Frame Craft

Here’s a nice craft that you can make after the party to showcase your favorite photo from that day. It’s also a nice way to display a photo from a recent Disney World vacation.

I always like Halloween decorations that are “cute and friendly” (like pumpkins and black cats) oas opposed to “creepy and gory.” So Mickey Halloween decor is right up my alley!

Mickey Mouse Pumpkin Craft

To make this pop=up pumpkin, just print the template provided by Disney Family, out on orange cardstock. You’ll also need a paper clip, rubber band, glue, a ruler and pencil, and crayons for decorating.

Mickey Mouse Halloween Hanging Decorations

Hanging decorations are fun because you can hang them in doorways and use them as hanging table centerpieces for parties. These bat mobiles are also from Disney Family and are made using their template and black cardstock.

When my girls were toddlers, I was constantly looking for simple craft ideas for them. (My son, on the other hand, had no interest in crafts or coloring, and just wanted to play with his cars and trucks.

Mickey Mouse Paper Plate Craft

This is a really easy craft for toddlers and preschoolers that doesn’t require much prep or elaborate materials. It would be great for a birthday party activity.

Just paint the bottom half of a paper plate red, then the top half black, letting in dry in-between.

Cut out the inner circle of two paper plates for “ears.” Paint them black, let dry, then glue them to the big plate.

Cut 1-inch circles out of white cardstock, then punch two holes in each circle to make them resemble buttons. Glue them on.

That’s it!

Minnie Mouse Paper Plate Craft

You can also make a Minnie Mouse out of a paper plate. This version lets little girls do to town with the glitter, which is something that one of my daughters loved to do!

Mickey Ears Paper Chains

Paper chains are always easy. You be as creative or as simple with them as you want, and they can go on and on and on if your kids are interested enough. This is a particularly good idea if you want a fun countdown calendar calendar for your next Disney trip.

Minnie Mouse Crafts for Toddlers

In addition to making crafts from scratch materials you can buy inexpensive craft kits and booklets like this one. My girls were absolutely crazy about sticker books when they were little!

Minnie Mouse Coloring Book Set

Here’s a set that girls can grown into: They’ll enjoy going crazy with the ink pads and stamps when they’re toddlers, but then as they grow older, they’ll enjoy coloring in the pictures, and perhaps using them to make birthday cards for their friends.
