The Very Busy Squirrel

We read The Busy Little Squirrel by Nancy Tafuri.  This is an adorable story of a squirrel that is busily collecting and storing up many kinds of food for the winter, including acorns.  So we made wet felted wool acorns.  We love working and playing with wool!  It is such a beautiful thing.  It was so simple, and they turned out so cute too!  After we wet felted little balls and let them dry, we glued them to acorn caps.  They look like magical acorns!  Now they are big part of the imaginative playing going on at our house.
