Not for idle hands, this beaver puppet is ready to get down to business. His resume includes sleek brown fur (for swimming), a workable mouth (complete with gnawing incisors), a flat textured tail (for thumping) and a full set of realistic paws. But this fellow does not pause—a beaver's work is never done!

Let the beaver puppet talk to your class about the value and importance of hard work. Too often we hear...that's hard...as if it were an excuse to quit. Instead it should be a catalyst to try harder.
