There’s an adorable lowercase M craft scurrying toward your craft table! Your child is sure to enjoy creating this merry mouse, especially if craft time is followed by a mouse-approved snack. Would anyone like a piece of cheese?

  • 2 sheets of printer paper
  • Card stock (we used orange, brown, pink, and black)

  • 2 googly eyes
  • Glue stick, pencil, and scissors

Instructions for Assembling Your Lowercase M Craft

  1. Print the M Is for Mouse Craft templates.
  2. Cut out the templates. Trace the letter M and the mouse’s ear, nose, and whiskers onto card stock.
  3. Cut out the letter M and mouse pieces.
  4. Glue the letter M onto a full sheet of card stock (we used orange, but you can use any color you like).

  6. Glue the three whiskers on each side of the mouse’s nose.
  7. Affix two googly eyes to the top of the letter M.
