Popsicle Stick Mouse Craft For Kids

Mice Made From Popsicle Sticks

Our Popsicle Stick Mouse craft activity is actually inspired by the children’s book “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie” by Laura Numeroff.

“This book is a great first introduction to Mouse, the star of the If You Give… series and a perennial favorite among children. With its spare, rhythmic text and circular tale, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is perfect for beginning readers and story time. Sure to inspire giggles and requests to “read it again!”

The award-winning If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, one of the most beloved children’s books of all time, is from the #1 New York Times bestselling team Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond.”

We have ALWAYS been a huge fan of her series {we have many crafts centered around her books} and I’m so excited to be adding today’s craft tutorial to the blog archives!

So if you are looking for a super easy story time craft to add to your collection – look no further because today’s wood craft stick mouse post is as simple as it gets! It’s inexpensive, super simple to recreate 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 pretend play piece made out of popsicle sticks, with us! We can’t wait to see your mouse creations in action! #gluedtomycrafts

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!
