Have you said "You're a great helper!" to a child today?
Groundhog Day Song and Puppet
popsicle stick
stryofoam cup
brown round piece of construction paper (groundhog head)
let the children color the outside of the cup (usually green) denoting the grass. Draw a face on the brown paper (groundhog face), they can also add brown ears. Glue the groundhog face to a popsicle stick. Poke the popsicle stick through the bottom of the cup.
Sing this song with your puppet:
I'm a Little Groundhog (tune: I'm a little teapot)
I'm a little groundhog furry and brown, popping up my head and looking around.
If I see my shawdow then down I go, six more weeks of winter - OH NO!!!
