As someone who danced the hula for 20 years, I was pretty obsessed with Disney’s Moana even years before the film came out. I’d stalk all the Disney message boards and blogs looking for any tidbits about the movie.
Of course, I was excited to see the movie when it came out, but I was also curious to see what changes would happen with Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa in Hawaii.
See, they already featured Lilo and Stitch at the resort, but this was a brand-new Polynesian heroine who was taking the world by storm.
It just made sense that more families might travel to Aulani and be expecting to see Moana and her friends there.
So, we were over the moon to be able to meet Moana several times on our last trip to Aulani and hear all about her bravery at Uncle’s Fire Pit Storytelling.
We were supposed to go back to Aulani for Spring Break this year, and we were so heartbroken when we had to cancel. So, we decided to bring a bit of Aulani home with this super cute Moana craft.
There are plenty of fun Moana arts and craft ideas, making these great for a Moana-themed party.
This Disney paper doll is definitely geared toward older kids and adults (younger kids will get really frustrated, trust me, but older kids will think this is a fun craft.)
Once you make this original Moana paper doll, you can make other ones with different outfits if you like.
And these are great to put on gift bags or homemade greeting cards, or add a popsicle stick and turn them into little puppets!
The possibilities are endless!
This is the best Moana doll you can make out of paper. She’s adorable!
