This easy to make reading chair for a mouse, or other woodland creature, is made mainly from walnut shells. You can make similar chairs from other nut shells, or use air dry clay or paper mache to make something similar. As shown, the chair fits the 1:24 scale miniature poseable mouse and would also fit playmobil people or Calico Critters / Sylvanian families characters with minor modificiations.

Instructions for cracking the walnut shells into halves without breaking them will help reduce the number of walnuts you need for this project! Other materials you will need include:
