With the summer nearing, our yard has become a playground for many furry backyard creatures. The bunnies are hopping, the chipmunks are scurrying & the squirrels are gathering nuts. Squirrels were one of the first things that I learned to draw. My grandfather taught me when I was a little girl & it has always been one of my favorite creatures because of its cute bushy tail.
My daughter has been loving making footprint crafts lately & asks for them often. We made one tonight & of course it was a squirrel. Footprint & hand print crafts are my favorite to make because they are not only adorable, but also because they make great keepsakes.

My girls also love looking at the squirrels as they are zooming by in the trees and such. So, I could see them loving this craft, too 🙂
They are everywhere. Lol! Mai loves footprint crafts. It is cute. She paints my feet sometimes too and then draws on mine. I should write about that. Lol
