Nuts About You!

Brown squirrel, brown squirrel, swish your bushy tail is one of our favorite Fall songs.  Have had fun singing and acting out this silly song with the squirrel.  Cut out a brown squirrel body and a big bushy tail.   Paint glue on the tail using a paint brush or sponge brush and crumple up small pieces of brown tissue paper to put on the glue to make the tail look "bushy."  Glue an acorn on the body and added a face with crayon.  Once dried, attach the body to the tail with a brad so that the tail could move back and forth as you sing the song.  

Just a thought:  I was trying to think of a little something we could bring my son's teacher for Thanksgiving.  So...we made another brown squirrel and wrote, "I'm Nuts About You!" on the acorn.  We brought her a yummy bag of nuts from Trader Joes.

Brown Squirrel Lyrics
Brown squirrel, brown squirrel swish your bushy tail 

(action-swish your bottom from side to side)
Brown squirrel, brown squirrel swish your bushy tail 

(action-swish your bottom from side to side)
Wrinkle up your little nose, Crack a nut between your toes
Brown squirrel, brown squirrel swish your bushy tail 

(action-swish your bottom from side to side)
Brown squirrel, brown squirrel swish your bushy tail 

(action-swish your bottom from side to side)
