Christmas Mice

(This is also from Family Fun Magazine.)

Is it just me or is this 1000x CUTER than the typical reindeer with brown pipe cleaner for antlers? Little mousies with a candy cane tail! Imagine the color possibilities... OH SO FUN. The kids and I had a blast whipping these up this afternoon.



Cut a big fat teardrop out of felt for the body, and the ears are actually all one piece of felt that loops under the candy cane and up through 2 slits in the body. Glue on some eyes and a little nose! So sweet!

Squeek! Merry Christmas!

We had a few of these growing up and I've always loved them but have never made any. A few days ago someone gave one to Clara and I was so excited. Gee I'm lazy. :)

My VT gave me some of those last year and I thought it was so cute. And can I say that I just love the family fun magazine! It's awesome for great ideas.
