Make a paper mouse
A mouse is one of the easiest animals to build from simple shapes — perfect for little crafters. Use a circle or oval for the body, two round or triangle ears, a tiny triangle nose and a length of string or wool for that long curly tail. Add whiskers and a little pom-pom nose, then stand your mouse next to a wedge of paper cheese. Glue it to a craft stick for a quick puppet.
Friends big and small
Every mouse needs friends! Pair yours with a cat for a classic cat-and-mouse scene, or gather the woodland gang with a squirrel and a chipmunk. Explore the full animals collection for more.
M is for Mouse
Mice are tiny but mighty! They use their long whiskers to feel their way around in the dark, they're brilliant climbers and squeezers (a mouse can fit through a gap the size of a pencil!), and here's a funny one — a group of mice is called a "mischief". These templates are great for the letter "M" too: colour your mouse while you practise the "M" sound, or trace the outline for fine-motor practice.
