I'm wanting to do a unit on squirrels with the kids next week.

I have several ideas and books so far...and am going to use the book list and printables from HSS.

HSS unit on squirrels

But, I thought I'd see if you creative mommas and nature loving mommas had any other ideas for me!

I am especially having a hard time finding some sort of neat craft. I don't want just a printable squirrel to cut out...though my girls will enjoy coloring squirrels! But I'm looking for a neat craft idea to do.

I'm a faithful reader of Dawn's blog and know they love to watch the squirrels, it seems like she has mentioned things to do about squirrels before but I couldn't find them linked anywhere on her blog.

Any other ideas? Oh, I think we will make the nut-ball mentioned in a book, sticking nuts together with peanut butter and hanging it on a tree.

You could try the gray squirrel project.

First harder idea that comes to mind is making a paper mache(?) squirrel.
