Easy Mouse Craft

Easy Mouse Craft
Mouse craft created using hearts.

This mouse is so cute and easy to make for your little one. Created with the heart shape it makes a perfect Valentine's Day craft. Do this one at home or school. Choose a classic book about mice to read along with it. My suggestions are: "The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear" , "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" and "Frederick".

  1. Cardstock or Construction Paper ( any color)
  2. Mouse Template
