Making Mice!

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

• 12″ string each
• glue
• construction paper – light grey (for mouse, or pink for rabbit etc) and yellow for cheese.
• mayonnaise lid or protractor or other circle.
• broom straw, or pine needles
• eyes or markers
• scissors

INSTRUCTIONS

• Have children draw a circle on grey construction paper, using a mayonnaise size jar lid, or a protractor.
• Draw a line on the inside of the circle, going around and around in a circle toward the center, leaving an area the width of a mouse’s tail until you reach the center. Make a little “bump” in the center.Cut it out.
• Next make another circle and put Mickey mouse ears on the top half of the circle. Draw a mouse face in the top half of the circle, between the ears, and “mouse hands” down the sides of the bottom half of the circle.
• Colour and glue eyes and broomstraw whiskers on it. (Markers will work for eyes.)
• Cut a wedge of yellow cheese to glue between “Mouse hands”. (Hole punch makes good swiss cheese.)
• Glue 12″ string to back of mouse head between ears. Glue tail “bump” to back of mouse.
• Hang it up and the tail will curl down.
• Make several of these and put them on a hanger for a mouse mobile.

You could also use RABBIT EARS for an Easter mobile too.
