Looking for a fun, book-related project?

We created the following two crafts and games to accompany If You Give a Moose a Muffin and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff. Read the story first, then make the characters to act it out together!

1. Make a Mouse Puppet:

Supplies Needed:

Brown Paper Bag (Lunch Bag)
Paper or Card Stock
Glue
Scissors
Markers (to make the face)
Paint, Watercolors, Crayons, or Colored Pencils (to color overalls, paws, and ears)

Directions:

Download our template and assemble your materials.
Color each piece of the mouse and his overalls.
Glue the overalls onto the brown paper bag.
Glue the arms on the sides of the paper bag.
Place the cookie on top of OR under the paw of the left arm; place the milk on top OR under the paw of the right arm.
Glue the ears on the top part of the bag.
Draw your mouse's face on the top part of the bag. (We used a pompom for a nose, but a marker will work, too!)

2. Make a Moose:

Supplies Needed:

Paper or Card Stock
Glue
Scissors
Markers (to make the face)
Paint, Watercolors, Crayons, or Colored Pencils (to color the moose and muffins)

Directions:

Trace your child's hands (left and right) to use as the antlers.
Glue the moose's face together.
Draw the moose's mouth and eyes.

3. Play a Muffin Game:

Markers (to write letters, numbers, words, etc.)
Paint, Watercolors, Crayons, or Colored Pencils (to color muffins)

Directions:

Download our example and assemble your materials.
Trace or draw a set of muffins to use.
Label your muffins and then cut them out so the tops are separated from the bottoms.
