Craft: Standing Squirrel
Children colored a squirrel cutout and two legs. They then bent the legs and glued them to the squirrel's body to make it stand. (Note - the template includes a slit for the legs to slide into but that didn't seem to work very well. So instead we glued the legs on.)
Literacy Extensions:
- Practice letter recognition. Squirrel is one of the first words found in picture books that includes the letter "Q". Ask your child to find various letters as you are reading the book.
- Learn more about squirrels. Check out a nonfiction informational book about squirrels from the library.
