How to Make a Moana Paper Doll in 8 Easy Steps
Create your own Moana Paper Doll with this Moana paper doll printable that is sure to inspire creativity for your little prince or princess. There’s just no telling how far they will go in their at-home adventures.
I’m sure it comes as no surprise that we are huge Disney fans. While I grew up watching the Wonderful World of Disney, my kids grew up watching Disney Junior.
Many of their first phrases and favorite characters came from those shows and the movies we watched together cuddled up on the couch.
Disney+ was never something we debated. I bought the three year plan before it even launched. As we were scrolling one day, I saw Moana and knew that we had to watch it!
Not only is it a powerful message of finding your purpose and staying your course, the songs are catchy and ones we keep going back to.
One of the things we love to do is find a craft or recipe that goes along with what we are watching.
We had so much fun creating a drive in to watch Mickey and the Roadster Racers. This Elena inspired breakfast treat was more like dessert and a delicious accompaniment as we watched the latest episode. The Puppy Dog Pals inspired creme brulee french toast was a treat that went along with that episode where Bingo and Rolly go to Paris to find french toast for Bob.
I knew we needed a craft to go along with the movie Moana!
The best part is that there is a traceable template that makes it super easy. The hardest parts are the hair and folding the accordion skirt.
If to want to make it easier, cut it to make fringe. I won’t tell.
While you can’t find Moana at Disney Parks, you can make her right at home!
