50+ Disney Arts and Crafts, Printables, and Food Ideas

Disney characters make some of the most fun inspiration for an afternoon of crafting with kids.

This collection of Disney arts and crafts brings together our Disney printables, character crafts, art activities, party food, holiday projects, activities, and travel tips in one place. You’ll find everything from princess paper dolls and Mickey Mouse coloring activities to footprint art, cupcakes, scavenger hunts, and seasonal Disney projects.

Some are quick print-and-go activities, while others give kids a chance to cut, color, paint, build, or create something they can keep.

Whether your child loves Mickey Mouse, Disney Princesses, Frozen, Star Wars, or simply anything Disney-themed, start with their favorite section below.

Free Disney Printables for Kids

Sometimes you need an activity that requires almost no preparation.

That is where printable Disney activities are especially handy. Print a page for a rainy afternoon, add one to your homeschool day, bring a few along while traveling, or keep them ready when kids need something quiet to do.

Disney Word Search Printable

A Disney word search printable combines familiar Disney-themed words with a simple puzzle kids can work through independently.

Word searches are particularly useful when you want an activity children can start with very little explanation. Give them a pencil or marker and let them find the hidden words.

Disney Word Scramble

Our Disney Word Scramble gives kids another puzzle-style activity using Disney words and characters.

Instead of searching for words in a grid, kids unscramble the letters to figure out each answer.

You can print both activities together to create a simple Disney puzzle packet.

Disney Crossword Puzzle

Test your family’s character and movie knowledge with this Disney Crossword Puzzle.

The printable includes clues associated with characters and stories such as Cinderella, Moana, Finding Nemo, and Tangled. A word bank can assist younger solvers, while the included answer key makes the puzzle easy to check.

Disney Alphabet Coloring Pages

These Disney alphabet pages combine letter recognition with coloring. Children can work through the alphabet one page at a time or color the letters associated with characters they recognize.

Add the link to your Disney Alphabet Coloring Pages post. Your Disney crossword post already links to this resource, but it is missing from the current hub.

Disney Color-by-Number Printables

Color-by-number pages combine coloring with early learning. Children follow a key to match numbers with specific colors, gradually revealing the completed picture.

These pages can support:

• Number recognition
• Color recognition
• Fine-motor control
• Visual discrimination
• Following directions
• Focus and patience

Disney Color by Number Collection

Browse the complete Disney Color by Number Printables collection for pages inspired by several characters.

These are convenient for preschool and early elementary learners, although younger children may need help reading the color key.

Mickey Mouse Color by Number

These Mickey Mouse Color-by-Number Pages combine a familiar character with number-and-color practice.

Use them during a Mickey-themed party, a movie afternoon, a preschool activity, or a quiet-time coloring session.

Minnie Mouse Color by Number

This Minnie Mouse Color-by-Number is perfect for fans of Minnie Mouse.

Disney Princess Color by Number

The Disney Princess Color-by-Number Printables feature several popular princess characters.

The collection includes pages inspired by Cinderella, Mulan, Jasmine, Belle, Ariel, Tiana, and Aurora. Correct “Aerial” to “Ariel” wherever that misspelling appears on your site.

Cinderella Color by Number

For children who especially enjoy Cinderella, these Cinderella Color-by-Number Printables provide a more focused set of coloring activities.

Piglet Color by Number

This Piglet Color-by-Number Printable is an easy addition to a Winnie-the-Pooh-themed activity day.

Pair it with a Pooh story, a family movie, or a preschool lesson about friendship

Disney Princess Paper Crafts

Printable paper dolls let children color, cut, assemble, and play with their finished creations. These projects work well for elementary-aged children who are developing their scissor skills.

Preschoolers can help with coloring and selecting the pieces but will probably need adult assistance with cutting and assembly.

Disney Princess Paper Dolls

This collection of Disney Princess Paper Dolls includes printable characters that children can color, cut, and assemble.

After completing the dolls, children can use them for storytelling, imaginative play, puppet shows, or bedroom decorations.

Cinderella Paper Doll

Make a classic princess with this Cinderella Paper Doll Craft. The post includes a printable Cinderella template and assembly instructions.

Pair the finished doll with a reading or viewing of Cinderella and invite children to retell the story.

Rapunzel Paper Doll

This Rapunzel Paper Doll includes a printable template inspired by the character from Tangled.

Children can color the pieces before assembling the doll or add creative details to Rapunzel’s famously long hair.

Princess Tiana Paper Doll

The Princess Tiana Paper Doll gives children another character to add to their printable princess collection.

Use the completed dolls for imaginative play or display them together as a set.

Disney Art Activities for Kids

Not every Disney project needs to begin and end with a coloring page.

These Disney art activities let kids create, decorate, assemble, or experiment with different materials.

Disney-Themed Play-Doh Activity

Disney-inspired Play-Doh is especially good for open-ended play because children can create their own characters, shapes, accessories, and scenes.

Rather than trying to make everything perfect, let kids interpret the theme themselves.

Disney Paper Crafts

Bring this famous fish to life by making this Nemo Fish Handprint Paper Craft.

A child may spend much longer creating their own Disney-inspired world than they would completing a more structured craft.

Disney Footprint Art

Footprint projects combine messy art with a keepsake you can keep after the activity.

They work especially well with younger kids because one painted footprint becomes the foundation of the picture.

Snow White Footprint Art

Our Snow White Footprint Art transforms a child’s footprint into a Disney Princess-inspired keepsake.

Have the rest of your supplies ready before painting the foot. It makes the process much easier when you’re working with a child who doesn’t particularly want to sit still with paint on their toes.

Cinderella Footprint Art

The Cinderella Footprint Art project uses the same keepsake idea with a Cinderella theme.

Add the child’s name and date to the finished page before storing or framing it. Those little details become much more important when you look at a tiny footprint again years later.

Elsa Footprint Art

This Elsa Footprint Art Craft is a fun option for children who enjoy Frozen.

Use shades of blue and add optional snowflake details around the completed footprint.

Ariel Footprint Art

The Ariel Footprint Art template creates an under-the-sea-inspired keepsake.

Pair it with ocean-colored paint, shell decorations, or an ocean-themed activity day.

Belle Footprint Art

Make a Beauty and the Beast-inspired keepsake with this Princess Belle Footprint Art.

Children can add yellow and gold details or decorate the background with paper roses.

Rapunzel Footprint Art

This Rapunzel Footprint Art Craft creates another printable keepsake for your princess craft collection.

Add ribbon, yarn, or drawn details to emphasize Rapunzel’s long hair.

Jasmine Footprint Art

Make this adorable Princess Jasmine Footprint Art project with your young Disney fans.

Frozen Printables

Frozen-themed activities are a fun choice for kids who want Anna- and Elsa-inspired projects.

Our “Frozen” Printable adds a Disney theme to math learning, and kids can complete it at home.

These types of printables are useful when you want to add a character a child already likes to an educational activity.

Olaf Puppet Craft

An Olaf puppet project gives children an opportunity to practice storytelling and imaginative play after completing the craft.

Disney Christmas Crafts and Printables

Disney Christmas Countdown

The Disney Christmas Countdown Printable helps children keep track of the days until Christmas.

Explain on the individual post how children mark each day—such as coloring, adding cotton balls, or crossing off numbers.

Mickey Mouse Santa Craft

The Mickey Mouse Santa Paper Plate Craft can also be used as part of a Disney Christmas craft day.

Mickey Mouse Santa Strawberries

These Mickey Mouse Santa Strawberries are an edible activity rather than a paper craft, but they can complement a Christmas craft session or themed party.

Place this link in a “Disney Party Food” subsection rather than presenting it as a craft.

Disney Halloween Crafts

Mickey Mouse Pumpkin Stencil

Use this Printable Mickey Mouse Pumpkin Stencil to create a character-inspired jack-o’-lantern.

Adults should complete the carving. Children can help choose the design, clean the pumpkin, transfer the stencil, and decorate the surrounding area.

Use a battery-operated LED light inside the pumpkin instead of an open flame.

Mickey Mouse Fall Pumpkin Paper Plate Craft

Disney Activities Before The Trip

Instead of repeatedly answering, “How many more days?”, give them something visual or interactive to do while they wait.

Disney Vacation Countdown Calendar

Build excitement before a trip with this Printable Disney Countdown Calendar.

Children can mark off each day leading up to the vacation. The calendar can also help young children understand how much time remains before the trip.

Free Disney Vacation Planner

This Free Disney Vacation Planner will help you as you plan your trip.

Disneyland Scavenger Hunt

Take this Disneyland Scavenger Hunt on your next park visit.

A scavenger hunt encourages children to observe details around the park and provides the family with a shared activity as they move between attractions.

Explain whether the printable is specific to Disneyland in California or can also be used at Walt Disney World. Do not use the two resort names interchangeably.

Star Wars Crafts and Printables

For kids who would rather explore galaxies than princess castles, add a few Star Wars projects to your Disney craft collection.
Browse our complete collection of Star Wars Crafts for Kids for masks, paper plate crafts, science activities, color-by-number pages, and other projects.

Disney-Inspired Party Food

For kids who would rather explore galaxies than princess castles, add a few Star Wars projects to your Disney craft collection.

Mickey Mouse Cupcakes

These Mickey Mouse Cupcakes use simple decorations to create a recognizable Mickey-inspired dessert.

Minnie Mouse Cupcakes

Make pink or red Minnie Mouse Cupcakes for a birthday or character-themed party.

Beauty and the Beast Rose Cupcakes

The Beauty and the Beast Rose Cupcakes have a more fairy-tale-inspired look and are especially fitting for a princess or Beauty and the Beast celebration.

This is one of the Disney food ideas I would choose when you want the dessert itself to become part of the party theme.

Mickey Mouse Santa Strawberries

Crafting doesn’t always have to involve paper and glue.

Mickey Mouse Santa Strawberries turn fruit into a festive Disney-themed treat kids can enjoy after helping assemble them.

Mickey-themed Cookies

Disney-themed “Nightmare Before Christmas” Cookie Recipe

Mickey Mouse Peppermint Cookies Recipe

Mickey-inspired Sandwich Recipe

Mickey Mouse Themed Club Sandwich Recipe

These are especially cute for Christmas parties, Disney movie nights, or an afternoon when you want an edible activity instead of another paper project.
