We adore a little bit of Disney here on KiddyCharts, and we have a few resources, including help to make their animated films more than just a good break for you and the kids. But today, we are sharing a Princess Tiana doll for you; a simple paper craft for kids.
As with all our crafts, here is a little video to help you with creating the craft. The video includes photos and instructions to help guide you through the process of making the Princess Tiana craft.
If you would rather have written instructions though…don’t worry, we have those too.
Simple paper craft for kids Materials
As always, you really just need a few basic supplies to make this doll:
- Colored craft papers,
- Craft glue,
- Black and blue sharpie,
- Pencil,
- Scissors,
- Template with the shapes for Princess Tiana. Scroll down to the end of this post to get this – by clicking on the circular image at the bottom of the post.
Princess Tiana doll instructions:
Once you have everything you need: you are ready to go.
1. Cut your designs from the coloured paper
Select brown, black, yellow and 2 or 3 different shades of green colored craft paper. Trace the half body pattern on the brown, trace the hair pattern on the black paper; and trace the dress and accessory patterns on the green and yellow papers. Cut out the traced patterns carefully.
2. Cut out Tiana’s hair
Cut a slit along the marked line inside the hair pattern.
3. Put Tiana’s hair on
Slide the top end of the head part through the slit from the bottom side of the hair. Apply glue to fix the head and the hair together.
4. Make and add your leaf crown
Join the 2 crown cutouts to make the leaf crown. Attach the leaf crown on the hair pattern, below the bun.
5. Create Tiana’s top
Join the 2 pieces to make the top pattern of the dress. Attach the top pattern on the top of the body pattern.
6. Put Tiana’s skirt together
Attach the ‘letter-B-like’ pattern along any one side of the rectangle pattern by keeping the straight sides of both pieces aligned together.
7. Concertina Tiana’s skirt
Create small and even accordion folds on the rectangle paper.
8. Finish your dress and add Tiana’s face to complete
Bring the width of either side of the accordion folded paper to the width of the body and attach it right below the top pattern of the dress. Use a marker to draw the eyes, nose and mouth of the paper Tiana paper doll to complete the craft.
This is simple stunning. The Princess and the Frog film is sometimes forgotten within the Disney back catalogue. However, it is a very important film, offering a BAME female protagonist for the first time to kids. Unbelievably, the film came out in 2010, so much older than you would have thought perhaps…..
Princess Tiana is simply a stunning simple paper craft for kids, which we hope will keep your kids entertained for a while so you can have a little break.
