The Halloween Mouse

Looking for a fun Halloween story to add a little magic to your preschool circle time? The Halloween Mouse is a simple cut-and-tell story with a surprise ending your kids will love!

All you need is a piece of orange construction paper, scissors, and the free story printable.

As you read about a little mouse searching for a cozy home, you’ll secretly cut the folded orange paper along with the story. Each time the mouse “nibbles” his pumpkin house, you make another cut.

But don’t show the kids what you’re making!

At the very end, unfold the paper and reveal a jack-o’-lantern! 🎃

It’s an easy Halloween activity that combines storytelling, listening, imagination, and a little bit of Halloween fun—and there’s almost no prep.

I hope your preschoolers have as much fun with the surprise ending as mine do!
