Create a cute little mouse friend out of a pine cone.
Time: 10 minutes
Age: Under 5's, 5-10's
Level: Easy
Materials
Pink foam craft sheet or felt for ears
Small pink pom pom for nose
Materials needed
Cut two rounded ears from the foam sheet and stick them into grooves in the pine cone.
Ear pieces
Glue on googly eyes with strong glue.
Cut 2 short pieces from the drinking straw. On each straw piece, cut one of the ends into thin fringes leaving one end uncut. These are the whiskers.
Drinking straw whiskers
Glue the uncut end of each piece into a groove in the pine cone near the nose and spread out the fringed end to give whiskers.
Glue on a piece of wool for a tail if your pine cone doesn't have a stalk.
Try making lots to create a whole family of mice.
