Instructions

  • Cut out a yellow circle, about 3.5 inches wide, and fold it in half. On one side, draw or color in orange spots to make your cheese look full of holes.
    A round piece of yellow paper folded in half with orange spots.
  • Cut a 3-inch square of blue or gray paper and fold it in half. Cut out a heart shape, then fold the top of the heart downward. Open it up and gently extend the folds to reveal a mouse face with ears.
    A folded blue heart with its top folded down.
  • Use a black Sharpie to color a black nose at the bottom of your heart.

Notes

    • To make it easier for little kids - pre-cut the tiny paper pieces or use larger paper sizes.
    • So the craft doesn't tip over - just be sure to fold the cheese evenly & glue the mouse head in the center. 
    • For a stronger mouse, use cardstock with older kids. For younger ones, construction paper is easier to handle.
    • Experiment with the size of your paper mouse! You can easily scale the paper sizes up for a bigger, bolder mouse-and-cheese craft.
