3D Mouse Card

This 3D Mouse Card is another one of the many fun hand craft projects we have for you to make at school with teachers, or at home.

It’s always a good idea, when doing hand craft activities, to have a ready supply of craft materials available. These can be stored in a pretty arts and crafts box.

The box needs to contain lots of different coloured craft paper, ribbons, beads, string, pipe cleaners plus buttons, textas and more, ready for easy crafts or 5 minute crafts for children to make.

Mouse Tales

Many children love to have their very own pet.  

A cute pet for small children might be a little mouse, to keep in a cage and for them to take care of… to feed, clean the cage and watch it run around a wheel.

Mousehole

Mousehole is an unusual name for a town in Cornwall England. This quaint fishing village has a cave called Mousehole and is a popular tourist destination that people love to visit and explore when visiting Cornwall.
