Begin to make the mouse by gluing the inner ears to the outer ears of the mouse. You’ll want the bottom of the inner ears to hang below the outer ears. Trim off the excess paper.

Next, glue the lower part of the face in the middle of the headband, about .5″ from the bottom of the headband.

Position the eyes below the eyebrows so that they’re slightly on top of the lower portion of the face.

Take the nose and glue it to the top of the mouth lines.

Glue the tooth just below the mouth.

Place the cheeks on either side of the mouth and glue them in place.

Finish off the headband by taping an extender on either side of the base.

Kids are going to love wearing this cute mouse headband!

Farm Unit For Kids

Don’t let the fun stop here! Create an entire farm unit for kids that will help them learn and have fun. Below are some of our favorite ideas to help get you started.

First, we recommend starting with reading aloud to kids. Reading to kids can help them with reading comprehension, improve their vocabulary, and so much more!

Below are a few top-rated farm books for kids:

Mr.s Wishy-Washy’s Farm is a classic farm animal books for kids. In this story, the animals revolt against Mrs. Wishy-Washy’s baths and leave the farm. You have to read the story to find out what crazy shenanigans the animals run into after they leave the farm!

Little Blue Truck is one of the most popular books in our house. The cool illustrations and rhyming words really make this story fun to read. And with a whole series after this one, kids love getting to know the characters more and more!

The Cow Said Neigh! is a fun and silly book about farm animals who wish they were another farm animal. Kids will enjoy the rhyming and learn that each of us (animals included) has strengths we should embrace.

Another activity we really enjoy is crafting with kids! Crafting is not only fun, but can help improve fine motor skills, creativity, and perseverance. Try adding in more fun crafts – here are some of our favorites:

• Paper Plate Rooster Craft
• Goat Paper Bag Puppet Craft
• Horse Handprint Craft
• Cat Headband Craft
