When I started planning Sawyer’s 2nd birthday party, I wanted to find a way to make as much of it myself if I could. Not everything needed to be big elaborate projects and having little ones that I could do in advance were helpful. These Mickey Mouse Meal Plates turned out to be my favorite and were the easiest too.
Sticking with the black, white, & red theme, I was going with I quickly realized that even basic supplies weren’t going to be available to me. The Mickey Mouse sets were all so colorful they wouldn’t work. So, I made my own!
The Mickey Mouse Meal Plates were super simple and took no time at all.
For supplies you’ll need:
- 3 Inch Circle Punch
- Large black paper plates
- 2.5 Inch Circle Punch
- Small black paper plates
- Glue Dots
First, punch out all your circles. Remember you’ll need two “ears” per plates. Simply take your glue dots and press the edge of your “ears” on them. They pull off, and the glue stick will stick to the paper like this:
Then stick the circle to the plate from behind like this. I found for spacing it was easiest to take an ear in each hand and stick them at the same time. Once the circles are stuck, you’re done. The Mickey Mouse Meal Plates are super easy!
I made them for both dinner and dessert plates and even laid out on the table they got a lot of attention. The kids thought they were great and the little ones didn’t even need food on them to like them.
They were perfect for holding the Mickey & Minnie Mouse Oreo Surprise Cupcakes we made.

Such a great party theme. You did such a great job.
This is so funny cause for Ps 2nd birthday we also did Mickey. Its such a popular thing at their age! I love watching Sawyer grow up too!
You are such a clever Mama! Pinning this to use soon!!
This is such a cute idea. Plus the kids can actually get involved with making the decorations for their own party. This has to be way cheaper than buying the already made plates.
How adorable! If we ever do a Mickey Mouse party, we’re definitely using this idea!
How CUTE! I am so not a crafty type of person, but I could at least make the plates even if I had to buy all the other decor, ha!
Such a simple idea, but clever. It really adds to the festive atmosphere.
These are fabulous! What a simple and perfect way to dress up those plates. I love your Mickey and Mini cupcakes too! Happy Birthday to your little one 🙂
