If you are shopping for a mouse toy, we now print five of them, plus a tiny rat and a squirrel to keep them company. This guide is for parents, collectors and anyone who loves small animals. It explains what each design looks like, what comes with it, what it costs and how to put a few together into a set.
Every one is a flexi toy, printed in one articulated piece in premium PLA, so the tail curls and the body bends straight off the printer. Prices run from $1 for a Micro Mouse to $15 for an X-Large. The quickest way to choose a mouse toy is by what the mouse is doing: cooking, holding its cheese, sitting small and round, or going everywhere on a keychain.
Our Mouse Toys at a Glance
Here is the whole group with the price on each product page today.

Squirrel, $7, or $8 with a ring. Not a mouse, but a close cousin with a big bushy tail.
All seven are in our woodland critters collection. The Chef Mouse, Mouse with Cheese, Baby Mouse and Tiny Rat are the newest, so this post spends most of its time on them.
Chef Mouse: The Mouse Toy With Its Own Kitchen
The Chef Mouse is the most detailed design in the group. The mouse is gray with pink ears, pink paws and a segmented pink tail, and it wears a little white chef hat.
What comes with it. A cooking pot with a lid, a tomato, tomato slices, a spoon that sits inside the pot, a loaf of bread and a wedge of cheese. All of it is included in the $10 price.
How it moves. The mouse prints in place as one articulated piece. The tail curls and the body shifts, so you can lean it over the pot as if it is checking dinner. The kitchen pieces are separate, so you can arrange them around it.
Who it suits. A home cook, a baker, or a child who runs a pretend restaurant on the kitchen floor. Because the food pieces are loose, it makes a good little scene on a windowsill or a shelf above the stove.
One thing to know: those small pieces are easy to lose and are not for children under 3. If the Chef Mouse is going to a household with a toddler, keep the kitchen set up high.
Mouse with Cheese: A Happy Mouse Toy and Its Snack
The Mouse with Cheese is the cheerful one. It has huge pink-lined ears, big shiny eyes, a pink nose and a wide open grin.
What comes with it. One wedge of cheese. The mouse can hold it in its paws or set it down by its feet. The pair is $8.
How it moves. The arms move so the mouse can hug its cheese close, and the segmented tail sways and curls.
Who it suits. Cheese lovers, anyone who collects cute critters, and children who like a toy with a face that looks pleased to see them. It already played a part in our Elf on the Shelf ideas, where it sits by the cookies and trades with the elf.
Our photo shows the classic gray, white and pink with orange cheese. You can ask for different colors in the Custom color box. If you change the mouse, consider keeping the cheese yellow or orange so it still reads as cheese.
Small Mouse Toys: Baby, Field Mouse and Six Sizes
Three of our mice are simple figures without props. Two are one-size designs that look quite different side by side, and one comes in six sizes.
The Baby Mouse
The Baby Mouse is chubby and round, with huge shiny eyes, rounded ears with pink inside, a pink nose and pink paws. The tail is built in segments, the legs move, and it holds whatever pose you choose. It is the softest-looking design of the group.
Keychain: No is the figure on its own for a desk or nightstand, $7. Keychain: Yes adds a ring for a backpack, zipper pull or set of keys, $8.
The one-size field mouse
Our older one-size Mouse is slimmer, with rounded ears and delicate features. It is small enough to hide in a closed hand. It uses the same Keychain menu: $7 without a ring, $8 with one.
Which to pick
For a young child, the Baby Mouse. The big eyes and round body make it feel like a character.
For a realistic look, the field mouse. It reads as a real mouse you might see in a barn or garden.
Neither listing gives an inch size. If you need a measured mouse, the six-size Mouse below lists inches on every size.
The six-size Mouse
The six-size Mouse is a barn mouse with a long tail you can curl. It is on our classic size menu, which makes it the only mouse you can buy as a matching family from tiny to big.
Micro (1 in), $1. Small enough for a dollhouse, a fairy garden or an advent calendar pocket.
Mini (1.5 in), $1.75, and Regular (2 in), $2.75. Pocket sizes for party favors and prize boxes.
Large (3 in), $6. A good size for little hands to hold and bend.
X-Large (6 in), $15. The display size, and easier to keep track of in a house with small children.
Keychain, $7. The mouse with a ring added.
Micro and Mini pieces are small parts and are not for children under 3.
The Tiny Rat and the Squirrel
Tiny Rat
The Tiny Rat has a textured coat that looks like soft fur, round shiny eyes, pink ears, a pink nose and pink paws, with a long segmented pink tail. The body wiggles, the tail curls and the legs shift.
We printed ours in slate blue with pink. If you own a pet rat, you can match its coat: type gray, white, cream or any mix in the Custom color box. Keychain: No is $7. Keychain: Yes is $8 and adds a metal clasp at the tail, so it can ride on a backpack or key ring.
Squirrel
The Squirrel sits up on four stubby legs, with pointed ears, round black eyes and a big bushy tail curled over its back. The body is built in segments, so it wiggles side to side and bends at the middle. Ours is a warm chestnut brown, and it can be printed gray instead. It is $7, or $8 with a ring.
It fits in a lunchbox, and it is a good pick for anyone who watches the squirrels out the kitchen window.

Colors for a Mouse Toy
Every listing has a Custom color box above Add to cart. Type the color you want there, and we print it after your order comes in.
Natural colors look like a real mouse: gray, white, brown or cream, with pink ears and tail if you ask for them.
Bright colors turn a mouse into a character. A purple Baby Mouse or a rainbow Tiny Rat is just as poseable as a gray one.
Matching colors work well for sets. Ask for the whole kitchen scene in one color family so it looks planned on a shelf.
If a color is out when your order comes up, we message you with the closest match before we print.
Common Questions About Mouse Toys
Are these mouse toys safe for cats?
No. They are not chew toys for pets. A cat will happily bat a small mouse under the couch, and the pieces are not made to be chewed.
Can a mouse toy go in a hot car?
Please keep it out. PLA softens above about 140°F, so a dashboard in summer can bend it. Our care guide covers cleaning and storage.
Does the Chef Mouse come with all the food?
Yes. The pot, lid, tomato, tomato slices, spoon, bread and cheese are all part of the $10 listing.
Can I pick up my order at Canton Trade Days?
Yes. Our booth is the only pickup spot. Message us before you order, and we will have it ready at booth 4268/4269. The next show is December 3 to 6.
Picking the Right Mouse Toy
If you want a scene, choose the Chef Mouse or the Mouse with Cheese. If you want something small and sweet for a young child, choose the Baby Mouse. For a pet rat owner, choose the Tiny Rat printed in their rat's colors. For a family of matching mice, the six-size Mouse runs from $1 to $15.
Whichever mouse toy you choose, it bends, holds a pose and fits in a pocket or on a keychain.
At Cosmic 3D Creations, every mouse is printed to order in premium PLA in Como, Texas, and Stephen and Candie check every joint before it ships. Type any color you like into the Custom color box, or come see the mice in person at Canton Trade Days (see our event dates).
