I found this poem and song on The Virtual Vine. I also have a project that makes a racoon head out of hearts. . I'll look for it.

Raccoon Song:
(tune: "Kookaberra")

Raccoon sleeps in a hollow tree
While the sun shines on you and me.
Sleep, little raccoon, (children hold puppets and pretend they are sleeping)
Sleep, little raccoon,
Warm and cozily.

In the darkest part of night
Raccoon has the best eyesight.
Look, little raccoon, (children have puppets peering around the room)
Look, little raccoon,
My, your eyes are bright.

Raccoon hardly makes a sound
When he prowls all around. (children hold puppets and quietly creep around the room)
Hunt, little raccoon,
Hunt, little raccoon,
Find food on the ground.
~ Author Unknown

Poem:
This special heart I give to you,
Because you love me …
And I love you.
The heart is you, the hand is me,
It shows we are
A family!

A piece of me I give to you,
This special heart because
I Love You!
The heart is you, the hand is me
It shows that we are
A family!
