Mouse's House

Mouse's House is a fun guessing game. Draw a mouse shape on a piece of paper and cut it out. Cut rectangles of four to six different colors, just large enough to cover the mouse. Hide the mouse under one of the rectangles and ask, "Which house is the mouse in?" Let your child point to a rectangle to guess. Name the color they point to and say, "Little mouse, little mouse, are you in the ____ house?" Flip over the appropriate rectangle and keep guessing until you find the mouse. What a fun way to explore colors!
