Our Popsicle Stick Holiday Mouse Kid Craft is actually inspired by the book “If You Take A Mouse To The Movies” by Laura Numeroff {affiliate link}

The famous little mouse from the children’s classic If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is back in another irresistible tale full of holiday antics. This time, if you take him to the movies, he’ll ask you for some popcorn. If you give him the popcorn, he’ll want to string it all together. Then he’ll want to hang it on a Christmas tree.

In the fourth in this mega–selling series, Felicia Bond and Laura Numeroff have created another high–energy story featuring the adorable and demanding mouse that has delighted millions of readers.

We have ALWAYS been a huge fan of her series {we have many crafts centered around her books} and I’m so excited that we added this holiday book to our collection. With that excitement, of course came a craft!

So if you are looking for another kid friendly Christmas craft to add to the collection – look no further because today’s post is as simple as it gets! It’s inexpensive, super simple and really festive too! So grab those craft supplies and get to work my friends {don’t forget to read the book afterwards in celebration!} Happy crafting, my friends!

Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {3 per mouse}
* School Glue
* Grey/Red/White/Black/Pink Cardstock
* Gray Decorative Scrapbook Paper
* Silver Paint
* Paint Brush
* Scissors

Directions:

* First grab three popsicle sticks {three per mouse} and glue them together to look like a triangle. Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat.
* While those are drying, grab your gray scrapbook paper and cut a triangular shape that will be placed within the popsicle stick design and be the face of the mouse. At this time, you should also cut out two smaller triangles out of the gray cardstock for the mouse’s ears, as well as a Santa hat out of the red, eyes out of the white and nose out the pink.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Holiday Mouse – glue all the pieces in place and give your mouse that holiday feel. Once done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!

As an added bonus – we are doing a throw-back to one of my most popular posts to date! Cotton Ball Popcorn w/free printable which goes perfectly with today’s theme. Just check out the post for the free download AND full tutorial!
