Gray Squirrel

Gray squirrel, gray squirrel,
Swish your bushy tail.
Gray squirrel, gray squirrel,
Swish your bushy tail.
Wrinkle up your little nose,
Hide a nut between your toes.
Gray squirrel, gray squirrel,
Swish your bushy tail.

(Hold hands close to chest like paws.)
(Wiggle your bottom.)

(Wiggle your bottom.)
(Wrinkle nose.)
(Pretend to hold a nut in your paws.)

Climb up in the tallest tree.
Let your tail blow in the breeze...

If you’ll be a friend of mine, I will be a friend of yours...

(Arms climb up above head.)
(Wiggle bottom.)

(Point to self and then a friend.)

Gray Squirrel

Have children draw the body of a squirrel on a gray sheet of paper and cut out. Next, have them trace around their foot. Attach it to the body of the squirrel with a brad fastener. Encourage the children to name their squirrels or write stories about them.
