Paper Bag Mouse Puppet - Kid Craft Idea

Mouse Puppet Made From A Paper Bag

Inspired by the adorable book “If You Take A Mouse To School” by Laura Numeroff & Felicia Bond, this DIY idea is perfect for craft time AND story time!!!

Mouse goes to school in this picture book in the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling If You Give… series!

If you take a mouse to school, he’ll ask you for your lunch box. When you give him your lunch box, he’ll want a sandwich to go in it. Then he’ll need a notebook and some pencils. He’ll probably want to share your backpack, too.

The famous mouse from If You Take a Mouse to the Movies and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is back for his first day of school. Only Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond could make school this much fun!

This mouse paper bag puppet craft is pretty easy AND completely customizable too! Plus I included a freebie in the supply list below to get you and your child started even faster today. I say it’s a win win for everyone!

Now let’s grab our craft supplies, check out the full tutorial below and get to work! Don’t forget to read the book in honor of your creation!! Happy crafting my friends!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
