scutter

the mice scuttered across the floor when the lights turned on.

she watched the leaves scutter along the pavement in the wind.

the children scuttered around the playground, laughing and playing.

as soon as the bell rang, the students scuttered out of the classroom.

in the garden, ants scuttered back and forth, busy with their tasks.

when startled, the birds scuttered away into the trees.

the squirrel scuttered up the tree to escape the dog.

she could hear the sound of tiny feet scuttering in the attic.

the crabs scuttered across the sandy beach, searching for food.

as the storm approached, leaves began to scutter across the road.
