Nut Adventure

Gather some nuts and let your child act like a squirrel. (You can also buy nuts or use other items as pretend nuts.) What do squirrels do when they find a nut? How do they prepare for the winter season ahead? Make it a game by hiding 10 nuts and then letting your youngster find them. Let your child create a squirrel burrow and swish his imaginary bushy tail.
