How to make a Felt Mouse
Check out our adorable M is for Mouse ABC Felt Animal :) It was between a monkey and a mouse and phew! both my children chose mouse!! :) You can find many more templates and how-to posts in our series: ABC Felt Animals. My children love their felt animals and this project has really helped to reinforce beginning sounds, so we are are moving slowly but surely!
Though they take some time and effort, the felt animals have been well worth it. They develop phonemic awareness and help children learn and create and imagine. I hope you enjoy learning about how to make a felt mouse!

All you need to make a Felt Ladybug is:
- felt: gray, black, pink (or you can use paper!)
- cotton balls
- hot glue gun (or Elmer’s if you’re just using colored paper)
- amazing Fiskar scissors (if you’re going to work with felt at all, you have to check these scissors out!)
** This craft uses a hot glue gun — please keep out of the reach of children — these are for adult use only!!**
First, cut out your paper template. I cut out my ears too and then traced the body where the ears would have been. I made two bodies, two ears, two eyes, one nose, and one tail.
Put 3-4 cotton balls on one body template and loosely glue on. Add your tail and glue that on as well.
Glue your ears, eyes, and nose, on the other body, then carefully hot glue together!
Isn’t he the cutest?!
My daughter loves him!
