Paper Plate Airplane – Disney Planes Dusty Kid Craft

Does your child have a vivid imagination and enjoy playing a part? Do they love airplanes or things that fly?

Do you have any Christmas traditions or a particular favorite part of the holidays?

For me {as you may know by now} I love doing various kid crafts with my son during the holidays.

I always like to tie things and different together, that really make it extra memorable. Just seeing the creative side of my son come out is amazing and I just LOVE sharing these moments with him.

Currently my lil man has an obsession with Disney Planes {do you have one of those avid fans in your home as well?} So most of his Christmas presents have the theme of the Planes movie. I just know his face is going to light up come Christmas morning and I honestly can’t wait!

To start the anticipation of all the fun, recently we made this Disney Planes Dusty {Kid Craft} together and like always – it was a big hit.

My son absolutely loved participating in the making and flying of his very own paper plate airplane in our living room, when it was done.

And just like all our kid friendly craft tutorials – this one is super easy, made with affordable supplies and fun! I hope you are inspired to make it today too!

* Reserve one of the outer cut paper plate pieces and cut in half/trim a bit to look like airplane wings.
* Now cut a small amount of orange & white tissue paper in small squares.
* Put a good amount of glue on all the paper plate pieces and have your child cover them completely with the tissue paper. {orange for the body and white for the wings}
* Set aside to let it all dry completely.
* Out of your cardstock, be sure to cut out eyes & a propeller for the front, as well as some smaller wings for the back.
* To finish off the paper plate airplane craft – staple/glue on the pieces in their designated spots and display proudly!
