Popsicle Stick Holiday Mouse – Kid Craft

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

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 popsicle stick mouse 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! Don’t forget to share pictures of your holiday mouse made out of popsicle sticks, on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
