These mice also look really cute if you embellish them with pom-pom noses and googly eyes!

Tip: pre-cut the slits with a craft knife in the mice bodies before giving the templates to students to cut with scissors, avoiding any ripping disasters.

Directions:

Cut out all the pieces.  Use a craft knife or sharp scissors to cut along the two dotted lines on the mouse’s body.
