My sister introduced me to this book quite a few years ago and it is one of our Christmas favorites each year!
- Read “Mortimer's Christmas Manger” by Karma Wilson … this sweet little mouse is tired of living in a cold, cramped, creepy hole in the wall. So he ventures out at Christmastime and “what he finds is wonderful!”
- Make a candy cane mouse!
- Use this simple pattern from Martha Stewart.
- Trace & cut out on felt.
- Assemble and add eyes and a felt or pom pom nose with craft glue.
- Insert a candy cane for the tail!
- Nativity finger puppets … in the book, Mortimer makes room for himself in the nativity set displayed on the table.
- Print out these free nativity finger puppets from Craftaholics Anonymouse!
- Cut out, fold and tape each one.
- Color!
- Insert little fingers and have fun re-telling the story of Baby Jesus.
- Brown Paper Bag Gingerbread House … at the end of the story, Mortimer finds a sweet new house just his size.
- Print out this cute gingerbread house from Making Friends (you can print in color or black & white!)
- Use as a great coloring page.
- Or color, cut out and glue to the front of a small brown paper bag.
- Fill the bag with treats or a small gift.
