I don’t want a real mouse in the house at all ever. But a chocolate mouse in the form of this Hershey’s Kisses Mouse Craft For Valentine’s Day, that’s fine.

I’m mean, he’s just so cute.

And he’s really easy to assemble too. You could make a bunch of little mice while you’re watching television, then give them to your kids for Valentine’s Day. Or, you could make even more and have your kids give them out for Valentine’s Day in school.

That would definitely be the talk of the class party, for sure.

This Hershey’s Kiss Mouse Craft is just one of the Valentine’s Day craft posts we have for the holiday season.

Hershey’s Kisses Mouse Craft For Valentine’s Day

We use the traditional silver Hershey’s Kisses to make these since that’s more of a mouse color. If you wanted to use a bag of Valentine’s Day Kisses to make red and pink mice, that’s fine. Either way, it’s definitely a cute craft.

Hershey’s Kisses Mouse Craft Supplies:

• Hershey’s Kisses (2 per mouse)
• Sticky dots
• Pink card stock
• Scissors
• Small adhesive googly eyes (5 mm)
• Small pom pom balls (1 per mouse)
• Yellow card stock
• Single hole punch

How To Make A Hershey’s Kisses Mouse:

Remove the tag from two Hershey’s Kisses. You don’t have to remove the entire tag, just any that is poking through the foil on top of the Kiss.

Rub some of the sticky dots on the flat side of one of the Hershey’s Kisses.

Stick the second Kiss to the first one.

Cut out two small feet and two oval ears (per mouse) from the pink card stock.

Use sticky dots to adhere the feet onto the bottom side of the Hershey’s Kisses. Whichever Kiss they’re facing is the mouse’s head. The other Kiss is the mouse body.

Use the sticky dots to affix the mouse’s ears onto the top of the candy that’s the “head.”

Stick the small googly eyes to the mouse’s face.

Small aside: We highly recommend using adhesive googly eyes for this craft. They come in a package where they’re attached to a piece of plastic. When you remove them, they have a sticky back that easily affixes to (pretty much) any surface. So they easily stick to the Hershey’s Kisses. This is so much easier than trying to use glue to stick them.

If you can’t find googly eyes, you can cut two small circles from white card stock and add a dot with a black marker to make really simple eyeballs. Use sticky dots to stick those eyes onto the Hershey’s Kiss in place of the googly eyes.

Use sticky dots to stick a pom pom on the font of the mouse (aka the tip of his nose).

Cut a right-angled triangle from the yellow card stock (so it looks like a piece of cheese). Use the single hole punch to punch holes in it, making sure to punch half holes on the edges, to make it look like Swiss cheese.

If you’re going to give these out as a school treat, write each child’s name on the “cheese” then use a small amount of double-sided tape to stick the mouse onto the cheese.

Variations:

Make a tail:

You could make the mouse’s tail out of a piece of twine and stick it to the end of the Kiss that’s the “body.”

Personally, I didn’t have too much inclination to make mice tails for these because the cute face already gives the indication that this is a mouse. So I don’t think you need extra embellishments to sell the craft.

Make heart ears:

I love the floppy ear look of these ears. They just feel like they have so much movement. If you wanted to make these more of a Valentine’s craft, you could give these little guys heart ears.

Instead of cutting oval ears from the pink card stock, cut a heart. Then, affix that heart between the two Hershey’s Kisses before sticking them together.

Make it an ornament:

Cut a piece of ribbon and stick it, cut edges in, between the two Hershey’s Kisses when you’re sticking them together. This would work if you were making these chocolate mice as a Christmas craft rather than a Valentine’s Day craft.
