Tiny Mascot Props

Bring magical, talk-rich moments into your provision with this adorable Tiny Mascot Prop Pack. Designed to slot effortlessly into everyday play, each miniature item invites children to predict, wonder, narrate and problem-solve — all without any overplanning or complicated setup.

Inside you’ll find a collection of tiny printable props including a treasure map, shopping lists, number cards, letters, and more. Simply print, cut, and place one small clue in your environment to open the door to rich oracy opportunities.

My top tips for using a tiny mascot:

Keep it simple: One tiny object is enough to spark huge thinking.
Don’t overplan: The best magic comes from spontaneous, playful surprises.
Use sparingly: Mouse shouldn’t appear daily — the rarity keeps excitement high.
Follow their lead: Children’s theories and predictions are the learning.
Leave clues, not answers: A prop is a prompt; let children build the story.
Celebrate randomness: Any tiny object can become Mouse Magic.
Capture the language: Expect storytelling, describing words and problem-solving to flow.

Perfect for EYFS and KS1 practitioners looking for low-prep, high-impact oracy moments, this pack adds just the right amount of mystery, creativity and child-led magic to your setting.
