Here is the template we used for the mouse

What a great idea! I think we are going to try one of these (or both) this year for daycare.

Thanks!

Ha, I remember making the reindeer ones for gifts one year when I was a kid…so funny, I’ll have to remember that one this year for my son’s kindergarten class. Thanks!

I remember making the reindeer candy canes all the time when I was little. I think I may have to make them this year with my kids. Thanks so much for sharing!

Oh, nostalgia… I remember making the reindeers in elementary & my grandmother always had the little mice on her tree. Fantastic!

[...] Candy Cane Mice at Skip to My Lou. This isn’t specifically a Christmas tree ornament, but would be easy enough to hang. You could either add a loop of thread or hang it from the candy cane. [...]

I made a few of the mice to put atop of the grandkids gifts this year. They will love them. Thanks for the idea.

We made a pile of the mice out of heavy cardstock and drew the faces and ears on with markers. My daughter gave them to her little friends at school, and they have been a big hit with all of them Thank you for the great idea!!
