Two Little Mice Holding Pencils on School Desk

Two small cartoon mice sit on top of an old-fashioned school desk, each gripping a pencil almost as big as they are. The mouse on the left holds its pencil slanted across its body with the tip near the desktop. The mouse on the right holds its pencil upright beside its side. Both have large round ears, big eyes, long whiskers and little pointed noses. The desk has a slanted lid, a attached seat with a tall back, and curved legs that end in flat feet. The thick outlines and roomy shapes make it easy for younger kids to color. Try using bright yellow for the pencils and warm wood tones for the desk, then talk about what you would write or draw if you were that small. It is a free printable that works well for back-to-school activities.
