How to Make the Paper Plate Mouse Craft

- paper plate
- scissors

- tape (optional)
- yellow acrylic paint
- pencil
- black marker
- paintbrush

Step by Step Tutorial
Paint the paper plate yellow.
Cut out the template and start tracing it on the gray color paper.
You need to trace some mouse parts on the pink paper – for example – its ears!
Start putting the mouse together, starting with the ears and face.
Then glue the four legs and tail on the body.
Draw eyes, nose, mouth, and mustache on the head and nails on the legs with a black marker.
Glue the mouse on a craft stick. You can use a glue stick or tape.
Pull out the yellow paper plate that you painted earlier.
Draw circles of different sizes on it – those would be the holes in the cheese.
Go ahead and cut out the circles.
Take the mouse and put it through one of the holes in the paper plate.
Make the hole a bit wider if your mouse doesn’t fit through.
Now you have completed another fantastic craft!
