Disney Planes Movie Night Treats

By 2 Comments

This Disney Planes family movie night and Planes treats and craft are sponsored by Collective Bias®.

My kids have been counting down the days until the Disney Planes movie comes out, and were so excited when I surprised them with the movie and a fun movie night! I made a few Plane treats and even a little craft for my son that I’ll be sharing with you!  

I love the values and the overall message of courage that is in Planes.


Without giving too much away, the main character, Dusty, has tremendous amounts of courage, despite being laughed at by practically everyone and being told that he’ll never be able to fulfill his dream. Despite all of the opposition, Dusty keeps going and working hard to achieve his goal, and is kind to everyone he meets in the process. I love the lessons and values that this movie teaches! My husband and I talked to our kids about courage, persistence, and kindness after we saw the movie at the drive-in the night it came out, and shared how we should all be more like Dusty!

For our fun Disney Planes movie night, I headed out to Walmart to pick up some ingredients to make a yummy treat for everyone and a fun surprise for my biggest little Planes fan- my two year old son! He has been in love with Planes since the first time we saw it, and has all of the little die-cast Planes toys that we can find! I thought it would be fun to make him his own set of Dusty plane wings! For the treat, I made little plane cups. I made them while the kids were at school, so they were so excited when they saw them!

Disney Plane Cups:

1. Melt the chocolate according to the directions on the package. Carefully spoon the chocolate into the plane molds, and place in the fridge for about 15 minutes until the chocolate has set and become hard. Pop out the chocolate planes by placing the mold upside down and gently shaking. The planes should pop right out!
 
2. Fill your cup with cotton candy, trying to make it look fluffy on top, like clouds.  
 
Add a chocolate airplane to the top, and repeat with the other cups.  
 
So easy, right? You’ll notice that if you overfill your mold, you’ll have a little extra chocolate on the sides of the planes. No worries, all you have to do is rub your finger along the edge where the extra chocolate is, and it will melt and smooth it out so that your edges are nice and clean. These little planes are very impressive, and yet are so easy to make! I made mine in orange, blue, white, and red, but you could choose any colors that you want, or even make them to match party colors if making these for a party.
 
I also made some plane suckers as well, using the same chocolate and directions, but this time using a plane sucker mold.  
 
These were a hit with my kids, too!
 
 
And last, for my youngest Planes fan, I made him his own pair of Dusty wings out of felt. They were a breeze to make, and require no sewing! Unfortunately my little guy was not in the mood to cooperate with picture taking (with all that chocolate around he was a bit distracted), so my daughter stepped in so I could take a picture of them. They fit perfect on him, but are obviously a bit small on her 🙂
 
To make the wings, I held up a big piece of white felt, folded in half, and measured how long I wanted the wings to be. From there I just cut the felt into a wings shape, and since it was folded that gave me the front and the back of one wing. I cut around that wing onto another piece of folded white felt to get another wing. I used hot glue to glue the front and back side of the wings together.  
 
 
I cut thin strips of orange out to fit the top and sides of the wings to match Dusty’s wings. I also added the thin blue strip that has has, and traced around a round object in my home to get the black circle. I cut out the circle, and then cut the inside out and a black number 7 to match Dusty. I hot glued it all together, and within about 15 minutes, I had two Dusty wings!

You and your kids will LOVE Disney Planes! We have watched this movie countless times in the past week that we’ve had it. You can own it on Blu-ray Combo Pack and Digital HD on November 19!
