How to Draw a Mouse
Little mice are adorable to draw — start with a round head, add two big round ears, a sweet face, and a little body with a curly tail! Follow these 5 easy steps and you can draw a mouse all by yourself.
Get ready — what you need
Just a pencil, a sheet of paper, and some crayons or colored pencils. That's it!
💡 Tip: Take your time and have fun. Every drawing is special!
Draw a round head
Near the top of your paper, draw a circle for the mouse's head. You can make it a little pointy at the bottom for the nose — like a teardrop.
💡 Tip: A slightly pointy chin makes it look like a real mouse nose!
Add two big round ears
On top of the head, draw two big round ears like two circles. Mice have big, round ears — the bigger, the cuter!
💡 Tip: Big round ears are what make a mouse a mouse!
Draw a sweet face
Add two round eyes with shiny dots, a little round nose at the pointy chin, and a tiny smile. Then add three whiskers on each side. Squeak!
💡 Tip: Long thin whiskers make your mouse look extra cute!
Add a body and curly tail
Under the head, draw a small rounded body. Add two little front paws, two feet at the bottom, and a long curly tail curving out to the side.
💡 Tip: A curly tail makes your mouse look playful and fun!
Color your mouse!
Color your mouse soft gray or brown. Make the inside of the ears and the little nose pink, and add rosy cheeks. You made a mouse!
💡 Tip: Give it a piece of cheese to nibble if you like! 🐭
