One of the books we have been reading these past two weeks is The Busy Little Squirrel by Nancy Tafuri. I was introduced to this book at our first library story time and knew I would have to get it out for the letter S. I knew I wanted to make a squirrel and use the S for the tail. Probably not very original, but I thought it would be cute. As I was having trouble trying to draw my own, I copied the one shared over at Totally Tots so I could have the basic shape. I cut it out of white paper and had the girls color their's gray. Tabitha actually grabbed hers up last night and colored it all on her own (on both sides). Then we gave him some food in storage. In the book the squirrel is very busy hunting for food and has to keep rejecting requests from other animals to come and play. Sort of reminded me of the book The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle,
Love how the squirrels turned out! Kerri

Very creative letter craft. Never really considered that the squirrel's tail looks like an S.
