Raccoons and Ripe Corn
by Jim Arnosky
One night in autumn, raccoons go into the cornfield. The corn is ripe and the raccoons feast on the sweet kernels. As morning comes, and the moon, an owl and the raccoons retreat only green husks, bare ears and half-eaten corn are left.Many a farmer has gone out to his cornfield to find that the raccoons have gotten there first.
Jim Arnosky's book, Raccoons and Ripe Corn is a wonderful introduction to our next theme where we will explore the world through the eyes and hands of a raccoon. As you read the book, ask the children what they know about raccoons. Have they ever grown corn? Have they ever had a raccoon get into their corn?

The Adventures of Bobby Coon
A Raccoon Story
Raccoons live all over North America. Thornton Burgess wrote about a raccoon he named Bobby Coon. The Parks Department of Santa Clara as created a site that shows us how raccoons move. Go to their site to learn how to create a phenakistoscope which shows how Bobby Raccoon moves. I wonder where Bobby Coon is going?
/images/158501racmed.gif)
Thornton Burgess wrote little beginning chapter books about hundreds of little Creatures of the Woodlands. Bobby Coon is one of those. The chapters are so short that you can begin reading this book to First Graders and even Kindergarteners at the beginning of the year. Most 1st graders will be able to read them on their own by the end of the year.
The long winter is over and Bobby Coon wakes up to find that Farmer Brown and his boy are chopping down the chestnut tree that is his home. When escaping from the tree, Bobby Coon breaks his let. Will Bobby Coon be able to recover fast enough to find a new home before next winter?
Author and naturalist Thornton Waldo Burgess (1874-1965) is one the the most popular writers of stories for children.Thornton Burgess wrote more than 170 books and 15,000 stories featuring woodland animals that subtly teach children and adults lessons about wildlife, habitat and wildlife conservation.

Raccoons Pick the Corn
Unit Study of Raccoon and Corn Ideas
Use this corn die to create ears of corn for your bulletin board.
How to create an interactive Raccoons and Corn bulletin board:
1. The children write facts that they have learned about raccoons on each ear of corn.
2. The children write questions about raccoons or corn on each ear and hide the answers under the corn shucks where their friends can discover the answers.
3. Post questions about raccoons and corn on the corn cobs and have the children match the answers by attaching the husks.
See an amazing interactive Bulletin Board with corn growing on stalks done for a unit on Little House on the Prairie by Jacquelyn for a Fourth Grade Class.
Raccoons love corn and often get into the corn just before the farmer is ready to harvest.
On a bulletin board make some stalks of corn. Attach ears of corn with pictures of things that begin with CH for Chester Raccoon or B for Bobby Coon.
Put two baskets on the chalk rail below the corn with CH on one and B on the other. You also might have pictures of Bobby Coon and Chester Raccoon holding the baskets.
Model how to pick an ear of corn. Say the name of the picture and decide which basket it goes in.
Calendar Time
Raccoons and Corn at Calendar Time
A raccoon's hands are very important to him. He uses them as dexterously as humans do and can foil nearly any kind of latch or cover meant to keep him out. The math calendar can focus on the raccoon's hands while helping children to count by 5's, 10's and counting on.
1. Count the numbers on the fingers. Each day put up another finger until there are 5 fingers up then add another hand. After 10 fingers start at 10 and count on.
2. Put up a new number each day and watch the harvest pattern come alive.
3. When the numbers go beyond 20 start Skip Counting by 5's or 10's.

Raccoon's Indian Corn Sorters
Paper Roll Corn Ears
Raccoons love corn. Children pretend to be raccoons learning math while sorting the colorful corn kernels found on Indian Corn.
Indian Corn comes in many different colors. Show the children how to break off the kernels and then sort them by color. Make a toilet paper roll corn ear for each color.
1. Glue a circle of paper over one end of a toilet paper tube.
2. Covered the tube with yellow paper and green "husks".
2. Glue some Indian Corn kernels on the outside.
3. Make several so that each one can hold a certain color.
Indian Corn Color Sort
Raccoons love to use their hands
Brainstorm ways to sort the corn kernels. Will you sort them by color or can you find another characteristic?
Younger children just like to fill the corn cobs with kernels. Older children may put a certain number of kernels in each corn cob and then use Skip Counting to see how many kernels all together

Raccoon Coaster Patterns
Raccoon Unit Study Pattern
Coasters work wonderfully for a pattern center. Children use the tiles to form repetitive patterns and then record their patterns on an index card ie: AABA or ABBA
You can also write words on the coasters with puff paint so that they are working on learning sight words such as raccoon and corn.
The pattern becomes:
raccoon raccoon corn corn raccoon raccoon corn corn etc.
Not only are they learning about raccoons but they are learning math and practicing reading all at the same time.
Raccoons Add and Subtract
Raccoon Math
These corn picks are great manipulatives for adding and subtracting up to 8. We make up stories about the number of ears the raccoons pick and eat and then write the number sentences on a sheet of paper.
After modeling this activity it becomes another center.
NOTE: It's a good idea to file off the sharp points.

Raccoons and corn go hand in hand. For this math workjob, pour out a handful of yellow and white buttons. The children can sort them, count them or makes groups of them to Skip Count. When finished, store the button corn in the candy corn purse.
Raccoon can Count the Corn
Raccoon makes a Counting Book
Simple, predictable books like Count the Corn, get children interacting with the print, encourage children to focus on words and encourage them to read words over and over. That repetition is important for beginning readers to help them begin to internalize the shapes of words and become fluent readers.
Help your child fill in the blanks, color the pictures and make a sturdy cover for the book. He or she will love to read this book to friends and family and that repetition will lead to lifelong reading habits.

Dissect an Ear of Corn
Learning about Corn
Raccoons can smell corn just as it gets ripe. Pretend to be raccoons in the cornfield as you carefully examine each ear of corn.
Bring some corn on the cob into class and have children pass it around to feel it, smell it and look very carefully.
Some children may never have seen corn husks or corn silk before. Take off the husks one by one and look at the way they are attached.
Notice the way each strand of corn silk comes from one kernel of corn. Feel how moist the husks are. Feel how the silk is moist near the kernels of corn but dry at the top where it has turned brown.
Save the husks and silk to make a corn husk doll as Betsey Rix might have done in the 1780's.
Pull off the individual kernels and look at the cob. Notice how the cob has little pockets for each kernel of corn.
Read about corn, plant some seed and pop some popcorn.
As interest wains. tale out most of the corn and add a little water. The corn will start to sprout.
Compare the weight of popped vs. unpopped corn.

Raccoon Observation
Observe a Raccoon
Photo courtesy of David Seerveld of AAAnimal Control where you can find out more about raccoons. He helps to remove raccoons from homes where they have become pests. He also warns us that trapping even to study them and release them may be illegal in certain states so you should check with your state wildlife manager before doing the following activity.
Raccoons can be difficult to observe in the wild. With a Havahart Trap you can safely trap and observe a raccoon. If you know that a raccoon in living in your area try trapping it using corn for bait.
Talk with the children about how scared the raccoon must be. They must be quiet and observe it from a distance.
Quietly talk about what you observe. Write your observations on chart paper.
Use a digital camera to take pictures.
These observations and pictures can be made into a class book.
When you have finished observing let the raccoon go where you found it.
WARNING:Remember that raccoons are wild. Do Not touch them, pat them, or poke a finger in the cage.

The Math of the Raccoons in the Corn Field Bulletin Board
What amazing sewing projects Mrs. Brown has done with her children while learning about Raccoons!
There are many mathematical skills children learn as the create art projects such as this corn and raccoon bulletin board mural. As they cut and paste the colored squares to glue on the corn or sew the black stripes on the raccoon's tail they are learning mathematical skills such as patterning and geometry, as well as working muscles in their fingers to help develop fine motor skills.
As the children finish each ear of corn we attach it to the bulletin board. We label the parts of the corn plants and then begin to sew the felt raccoons that will come to raid the cornfield.
- Kindergarten Art with Mrs. Brown
- They practiced their cutting and gluing skills when they created their own harvest corn collages. When all the artwork is put together it becomes giant field of Kindergarten Corn!

Here are some of our favorite books from the Raccoon Bookshelf. These stories are tales of fictional raccoons but lead easily to discussions of facts, habitats and wonders of the real animal.
Before you start to read, one day, point out the word raccoon to your child. Notice how all of the letters are the same height. There are no letters sticking their heads up above the others. There are no tales hanging down.
Now read through the book just to enjoy the story. Talk about all the things that you discovered about raccoons or about the storyline.
Lastly or on another day, go back through the book looking for the word raccoon. You might be surprised at how quickly your beginning reader will be able to pick out that word.

Color the Raccoons
Don't just hand your child a coloring worksheet. Spend some time really looking at it. A coloring sheet can be used to help children learn to observe the basic shapes of the raccoon. Look at the proportions of the raccoon. How long is the raccoon's tail in relation to the rest of its body? Where are the raccoon's eyes set in relation to the size and shape of the head? What kind of habitat does that raccoon live in?
Then have the children color the coloring sheets but don't stop there. Brainstorm ways in which they could add to the illustration. Be sure to write about the raccoon and share your report with the rest of the class.

Listen to a Raccoon
Listen to 10 different sound tracks of raccoons from purrs, chirps and coos to the sound of baby raccoons.
Try listening to the sounds and labeling them. Then play the sounds at random. Can your child recognize which sound the raccoon is making? Learning to discriminate sounds will help your children not only understand more about raccoons but will help in learning to discriminate letter sounds and in learning foreign languages.
- Raccoon Sounds
- Raccoons are not domesticated but a very clever and intelligent animal. Their curiosity helps them survive. Baby raccoons are called kits. They are usually active at night. Listen to some of the sounds they create while they are awake.

Raccoon Puzzle
Puzzles depicting Raccoons
Raccoons are inquisitive and dextrous. Raccoon Puzzles are not only fun for children but help them with eye-hand coordination and visual discrimination. Place raccoon puzzles near a table as an independent learning center.
TIP: If you number each puzzle and write the number on the back of each of the puzzle pieces for each raccoon puzzle, it will be easy to find the correct box for any missing piece.

Raccoons and The Three Sisters Game
Corn, beans and squash activities for the classroom
- The Three Sisters: Corn, beans and squash activities for the classroom
- When planting corn, beans and squash, Native Americans suggest that you plant them together. The squash surrounds the corn and beans and covers the ground, serving to hold moisture in the soil, and - as Native American lore explains - the prickles on squash stems act as repellent to pests such as hungry raccoons.
Corn is the tall grandfather who gives the beans a pole to climb up; the beans climb the corn and feed the soil for the corn; the squash keeps the soil moist for the thirsty crops, and it keeps away raccoons and other pests with its spiky stems.
A teacher should act as director, placing the children into position. It is also helpful to have a narrator. One child should stand as the corn plant. Two children are bean plants, and each one holds onto a knee of the corn plant volunteer. Several children can squat in a circle around the corn and beans with their hands and fingers held outward like spines.
One or more children can act as raccoons trying to get the crops. They are unable, however, to get past the squash. Another volunteer can acts as the gardener, and pretend to water the crops. The squash plants react by grabbing the imaginary water and holding it in the circle.
The O'Mama Report is a resource featuring organic and organic agriculture. It contains articles about organic standards, organic gardening, preparing organic baby nurseries, cooking with organic foods, and how to incorporate organic into everyday life.
Raccoon Game Pieces
Figurines make Great Raccoon Game Pieces
Add a few raccoon figurines and some craft supplies to the Raccoon Literacy Bag and invite children and their families to make up a board game using a skill being taught in class.
Raccoon Literacy Bag
Chester Raccoon's mother demonstrates how love works to reassure and give us strength in a sometimes scary world.
A raccoon puppet, a copy of the Kissing Hand, a factual book about raccoons and a few activities can be put into a Tote Bag and sent home as an alternative to homework. Literacy Bags also include instructions for the parents and a journal for recording the adventures of Chester Raccoon. The stories that the children write with their parents can then be read by the next child who takes the bag home.
When playing Harvest Time we try to harvest all the crops before the raccoons eat them all up.
Match the Pawprints Game
I like to print these cards on cardstock with enough room to write the names of the animals they go with. I then find pictures of the animals that they go with and write the names of the animals under them.
I teach the children how to play Concentration with these cards carefully matching up the words to make sure that they are the same.
Once they are able to read the words I teach them how to play Go Fish with the same cards.
These games are then placed in the Game Center in a labeled bin.
- Match the Paw Prints: A wonderful resource to go along with the book The Kissing Hand
- This print and make game would be fun with the Kissing Hand or any nature study in general.

What do Raccoons do in Winter?
Do they put on warmer clothes and go sledding?
No, of course not. Though raccoons in the southern United States and South America remain active the year around, in North America, raccoons sleep for long periods during the winter, but they don't truly hibernate.During true hibernation, an animal's heart rate and temperature decrease greatly.
On mild winter days, a raccoon may wake up and leave its den to search for food. Raccoons in such colder areas prepare for winter by eating extra food during the fall. They store up a layer of fat under their skin, and this fat keeps them alive during the long winter sleep.
- Raccoon
- Raccoons sleep for long periods during the winter, but they do not hibernate.
Where are the Raccoons?
- What happened to our urban birds and raccoons? - Science Notes
- Monado noticed a change in the distributions here in Toronto. A couple of years ago the city started a composting program: all food scraps, tissues, greasy paper, etc. are supposed to be put into a separate plastic bin with a lid for separate collection. Since then Monado noticed a big drop the number of raccoons in Toronto and an even more drastic drop in sparrows, starlings, house finches, pigeons, and other city birds.Monado suspects that the raccoons were spilling garbage and ripping open plastic bag and that they and the birds were feeding on the garbage.
No one else has mentioned it. It's hard to notice a lack, but fewer sparrows means fewer sparrow hawks, and so on.
The link above will take you to Monado's Blog.
Raccoon Scat
Raccoon Signs
- Watching for Winter Wildlife - NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation
- Conservationist for Kids is the nature and environment magazine for kids in New York State
Another sign to watch for is animal droppings, also known as scat.
Sometimes you can find scat near where animals have been eating. Sometimes they mark their territory with scat and urine.
With a good field guide to help, you can tell what kind of animal left the scat and what the animal ate.
(Be sure to wear rubber gloves or use a stick if you take scat apart. It sometimes contains harmful parasites.)

Raccoon Babies
Raccoon Babies are called Kits
- Caring for Baby Raccoon Kits
- Springtime signals the birth of many things. In the central part of the United States the months of April and May are notorious for turning out orphaned wild animals of many species, including the raccoon. Many kits are orphaned due to mishaps such as car accidents, hunting
and careless cleanup efforts in which their homes in trees are cut down. A raccoon kit will usually have an average of 3 other siblings so be prepared to care for more than one. Also keep in mind that it is best not to raise a raccoon kit alone. - The Raccoon Kits Story
- Slide show of caring for a baby raccoon.
- Raccoon Tracks... General Raccoon Facts
- The male's loyalty to the female lasts about a week before its off to find another mate. The female raises the litter -- which can be as small as 2, or as many as 7 -- of cubs or kits alone. Pregnancy takes 63 days, and the female usually mates only once in a season. Raccoon kits are generally born between April and June. Life expectancy in the wild is about 5 years.
Harriet E. Weaver, Frosty: A Raccoon to Remember (San Francisco, CA: Chronicle Books, 1973), p. 127.
Frosty A Raccoon to Remember
Review by David Hunter on Amazon:
This warm, humorous book contains the author's experience raising a rambunctious raccoon named Frosty who was brought to her after his family died in a storm. Frosty loves to explore and meet new people and this often gets him (and Harriet) into trouble. Eventually, they move to a citrus farm in California, where Frosty meets new friends, has new adventures, and eventually goes wild.

The Tale of Little Raccoon
Little Raccoon By Mabel Watts Illustrated by Jean Tamburine
Here is a delightful tale of a little raccoon. It talks about a raccoon's habit of dipping its food in water and uses this to encourage children to remember to wash their food before eating. The illustrations are charming. I am sure that your children will love reading the story of Little Raccoon.- Little Raccoon
- Ricky Raccoon lived at the edge of the forest, near a river...Along with many other raccoons.
All liked to paddle around in wet, muddy places. All wore rings on their big, bushy tails. And cute ...

- I was looking at foot prints of trying to figure out what fell into my swimming pool last night and I believe it may have been a raccoon. The foot prints are to big for my small dog and to small for my big dog and none of the cats were out last night. I guess that maybe it was looking for a water source being that it has not rained much in California yet this year and leaned over and fell in fortunately for both of us it was on the steps so it only got a very cold experience and was able to get out as the pool deck had a large wet spot on it. I guess I will have to be careful when I let the dogs out at night as it seems to have very long claws. Huh!! any ideas on how I can discourage it from being comfortable in my backyard? I don't want it to think this is a great place to hang out.

- I think raccoons are one of the most delightful animals to see in nature as well as photos and drawings.Unfortunately, if you see one in your yard, you may be in for some troublesome times. Children, of course, she be taught to never approach a raccoon! Such an impressive array of resources you have presented. The children in your world must consider you a saint!
