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!

Supplies Needed:
  • Brown Paper Bag (Lunch Bag)

  5. 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. 
  6. Glue the ears on the top part of the bag. 
  7. 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:
