Craft Time: Mickey Mouse Cutie Easter Egg

Mickey Mouse Cutie Easter Egg Template PDF

Time: 1 Hour

What You’ll Need

• Hardboiled white egg (or wooden egg), painted black
• Ruler
• Scissors
• Cardboard tissue tube (1 1/2 inches or so in diameter)
• Black craft paint and paintbrush
• Strip of red craft paper (1 1/2 – by 5-inches)
• 2 small white buttons (about 3/8 inch in diameter)
• Glue dots
• Cardstock, black and white

How To Make It

1. Cut a 2-inch section from the cardboard tissue tube, paint it black, and let it to dry. Note: Another option is to make your own tube by rolling up and stapling a strip of black cardstock.

2. For Mickey’s shorts, wrap the red craft paper around the bottom of the tube and glue the ends together to hold them in place. Glue the white buttons to the front of the shorts.
3. Place the painted egg atop the tube, with the narrower end down. Then print the template on a sheet of white cardstock. Cut out the Mickey face and use glue dots to stick the upper portion to the front of the egg, but allow the chin to extend slightly over the outer tube.

4. For the finishing touch, use the ear template piece to cut out a pair of Mickey ears from black cardstock. Fold the ear tabs, as shown, and glue them to the top of the egg so that the ears stand upright.

Notes

Cutting should be done by an adult.

Craft Time: Goofy Easter Egg Cutie

Goofy Cutie Easter Egg Template PDF

Time: 1 Hour

What You’ll Need

• Hardboiled white egg (or wooden egg), painted black
• Ruler
• Scissors
• Cardstock (white, light orange or tan, and black)
• Stapler
• Craft paper (blue and purple)
• Glue dots
• Wooden candle cup, about 1 1/2 inch tall, (sold in craft stores)
• Green craft paint and paintbrush
• Three short strands of black string or yarn

How To Make It

1. Roll an 8 1/2- by 2-inch piece of beige or golden brown cardstock into a tube, making the diameter just wide enough for the narrower end of the egg to nestle in. Staple the tube where the paper overlaps. Wrap the lower tube with blue paper for Goofy’s pants. Then wrap a purple strip of paper three quarters of the way around the upper tube for a vest.
2. Set the egg atop the tube. Print the template on white cardstock and cut out the pieces. Use the muzzle piece to cut out the same shape from light orange or tan cardstock. Glue the nose onto the muzzle and then draw on a mouth. Glue the muzzle to the bottom of the eye piece.
3. Glue the eye portion of the assembled face piece to the front of the egg, but leave the muzzle free to overlap the outer tube slightly.

4. Use the ear template piece to cut out a pair of Goofy ears from black cardstock. Fold the ear tabs, as shown, and glue them to the sides of the egg.

5. For Goofy’s hat, turn the wooden candle cup upside down and paint it green. Glue a thin strip of black cardstock around the bottom of the hat. Gather the strands of string or yarn in a bunch, knot them together at one end, and then stick the knot to the inside of the hat with a glue dot. Stick the hat in place atop the egg with the loose string ends sticking out.

Time: 15 Minutes

What You’ll Need

• Regular paper or cardstock
• Scissors
• Glue or double-sided tape

How To Make It

1. Print on regular paper or cardstock and cut out all of the pieces. Do not cut along the dashed lines — this is where you will fold the paper.
2. With the design facing you, make all of the vertical folds on Mickey’s shorts away from you. Close the shorts by gluing tab A to the inside of the design.
3. Fold the bottom of Mickey’s shorts outward, his feet down, and his tail up.
4. Fold the top of the shorts like a box and tuck the tab inside.
5. Fold the head in half and secure so the design is two-sided. Make sure the pieces are lined up evenly before the glue dries. Insert the neck into the top of the shorts where you folded the top closed.
6. Fold each arm in half and secure so the design is two-sided. Do not get glue on the tabs on the ends of the arms. Fold those outward and use them as a base to attach the arms to the sides of the body. Glue the arms to Mickey.
7. Glue the Easter basket to one of Mickey’s hands and your cutie is finished!
