Look who found the grain sack! This mouse coloring page shows a cheeky little mouse sitting right in the middle of the seeds. Print the free page and color the grain sack and its tiny visitor.
Why Kids Love This Sack Mouse
The mouse sits at the top of the open sack with big round ears, long whiskers and a patterned scarf. It’s holding a seed in its paws, surrounded by lots of different grains and seeds. The burlap sack has a criss-cross weave and is tied with a twisted rope and a big bow. The relaxed doodle style makes coloring easygoing.

Fun Facts About House Mice
House mice live in family groups in barns, stables and houses – and they love grains and seeds. That’s why you’ll often find them on farms wherever grain is stored. They’re mostly active at night and feel their way with their whiskers. Mice are great climbers and can squeeze through a hole barely bigger than a pencil. They even “sing” songs in ultrasound, too high for people to hear.
What to Do with Your Finished Mouse
Glue real oats or seeds onto the grain area to make a touch-and-feel picture. Or write a story about how the mouse snuck into the sack without the barn cat noticing.
