For my Mice themed story time I flannelized the book Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh and made it into a box story. Well, actually I made the pieces out of foam which worked nicely on the box as the pieces were sturdy and durable!
Mouse Paint is a story about three white mice who hide on white paper so the cat can’t find them.
The mice find three jars of paint. They have some fun, jump into the paint and change colors!
They have even more fun when the paint spills and they jump into the puddles. Their feet change different colors!
The paint gets a little sticky so they wash themselves off in the cat’s bowl while he is sleeping.
The mice decide that painting on paper is much better than painting themselves. They paint the white paper all different colors…But, they leave a part of the paper white so the cat still can’t find them when he comes sniffing around!
