Popsicle Stick Mouse

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 mouse puppet made out of popsicle sticks, on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
