Instructions:
Print and Cut Out the Template:
Download and print the free PDF template on white paper. Carefully cut out all the parts: mouse body, tail, ears, inner ears, eyes, and nose.
Choose Your Colors:
Use the cut-out pieces as stencils and trace them onto colored paper. Be creative—your mouse can be any color you like! In our example, we chose bright orange for a fun, eye-catching look.
Assemble the Mouse Body:
Take the large body shape and glue the two pointed ends together to form a loop. This will be the 3D body of your paper mouse.
Add the Face:
Glue the eyes onto the front of the mouse’s body.
Then attach the black whiskers just beneath the eyes, followed by the round black nose right on top.
Create the Ears:
Glue the inner ear pieces onto the larger outer ears. Use contrasting colors for a nice visual effect—like orange and pink in our example.
Once ready, glue the ears above the eyes.
Attach the Tail:
Slightly curl the tail using a pencil for a realistic touch. Glue it to the back of your mouse.
That’s it — your cute and colorful paper mouse is complete!
This craft is great for preschoolers and elementary-aged children. It’s a fun way to practice scissor skills, fine motor coordination, and color creativity. Whether used in the classroom or at home, kids will love making their own cheerful paper mice!
