Ideas to Use This Mouse Craft
Looking for a cute, low-prep activity your kids will love? This build-a-mouse craft template is perfect for busy parents and teachers. Just print, color, cut, and glue!
Below are a few simple ways you can use this printable mouse craft with your preschoolers:
1. Learn the Letter M
Learning letters is so much more fun when it’s hands-on!
Use this craft to introduce the letter M — M is for Mouse!
Have your little ones trace or decorate the letter M right on the mouse’s body as they build their craft.
It’s a playful way to mix art with early learning.
2. Make a Paper Plate Mouse
Once your kids finish coloring and cutting their mouse, glue it to a paper plate for a cute display!
Hang it on a classroom wall, your fridge, or gift it to a teacher as a special keepsake.
3. Create a Toilet Paper Roll Mouse
Want to take it 3D?
Wrap the finished mouse around a toilet paper roll for an easy, recycled craft project.
It’s a fun way to reuse materials while making your woodland mouse come to life.
