I think I originally made this because I was desperate for some fall songs and fingerplays. Honestly, it's one of those things I would normally think the kids would not get into. Now every year I have to giggle when I do it because they are completely entranced. We start out by practicing the traditional version of Where Is Thumbkin so they know the actions. Then I pull out the squirrels.
Where is Red Squirrel?
To the tune of: Where is Thumbkin?
Where is red squirrel?
Where is red squirrel?
Here I am.
Here I am.
Here I am.
How are you today, sir?
How are you today, sir?
Very well, I thank you.
Run away. Run away.
(repeat for each color)
When all the squirrels are on the board, I pass out colored acorns and let kids match the nut to the squirrels. Check out my Fall Fun Storytime for more nutty fun.
