Last year, I saw a gorgeous canvas on Pinterest (pictured below) with the 'Twas the Night before Christmas' poem alongside 2 footprint mice, and I fell in love with it.  

I can't find who made the canvas to give credit, so please do let me know if you know the source. I also love this version by 'Crafty morning and this ceramic plate (pictured below) by painted zebra. 

Feeling inspired, I decided to make a 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' poem printable, which included the poem with a space for a cute little mouse footprint. 

Twas the Night before Christmas Poem

Twas the night before Christmas, 
when all through the house 
not a creature was stirring, 
not even a mouse.

After you have made your Christmas mouse footprint, adding a child's name and age would be a nice added touch. If you want your Twas the Night Before Christmas cards to be opened, you will need to mount the printable onto a larger folded piece of card. 

I first made these footprints with Daisy (age 2), and she was so proud of her little footprint mice.  I can't wait for her to hand them out to family at Christmas.
