Princess Mulan Paper Craft
We're big fans of Disney princesses in our house, especially the tougher ones like Rapunzel and Mulan.
So much so that we've probably watched all the movies, seen all the shows, and made the majority of the crafts.
Our girls all have their favourites: Sophia adores Snow White, Tatiana is Jasmine-obsessed and Lara loves Mulan.
So she really enjoyed making this fun Mulan craft
Making their own Disney Princess to play with is such a fun activity for kids, and they will be very excited if Hua Mulan is one of their favourites.
And if you really want to ramp up the excitement for this simple paper craft, put the Mulan movie on and pop some popcorn as well to go along with the craft.
The kids will love having their own snack and a movie option to then pair up with this super cool craft.
It just might be the start of the princess obsession in your house as well!
Who knows, they might want to see how many other princess crafts they can design and make.
Can kids make this craft on their own?
Younger kids will need some help with this paper craft, but older ones should be able to follow the instructions with a little guidance.
It's such a great way to work on their listening skills and fine motor skills as well.
And celebrate the fact that they created Mulan when they're done!
That's a big deal, as well as being so much fun.
