“M” is for mouse and today’s popsicle stick kid craft idea is the PERFECT way to reinforce that idea!

Inspired by the adorable book “If You Take A Mouse To School” {affiliate link} by Laura Numeroff & Felicia Bond, this DIY idea is perfect for craftime AND storytime!!!

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!
