Falling to the ground Each one rests so gently

They never make a sound

I’m A Little Snowman (Tune: I’m A Little Teapot)

I’m a little snowman, look at me (make round body with arms)

When the sun comes out, I cannot play

Watch me slowly melt away (slowly melt body over towards the floor)

Five Little Snowmen (Tune: Five Little Ducks)

5 little snowmen standing in a row

Each with a hat and a colorful bow

The sun came out and shone all day

And the red little snowman melted away!

One little, two little, three little snowflakes,

Four little, five little, six little snowflakes,

Seven little, eight little, nine little snowflakes,

Ten little snowflakes on my hat! (pat head)

Ten little snowflakes on my mittens! (wiggle hands)

Ten little snowflakes on my boots! (point to feet)

Snowflake, snowflake dance around,

Snowflake, snowflake, touch the ground,

Snowflake, snowflake soft and white,

Snowflake, snowflake snowball fight!

Five Little Snowmen

Five little snowmen on a snowy day

The first one said, "Let's play, what do you say?"

The second one said, "Let's stomp on the ground."

The third one said, "Let's roll around."

The fourth one said, "Let's run and run and run."

The fifth one said, "I'm afraid I feel the sun."

"Oh dear," cried the snowmen, as they looked toward the sky.

And the five melting snowmen waved a fond goodbye.

Rhyme

Think of words that rhyme with “snow.”

Weather

On three cards, draw simple weather pictures: bright yellow sun, dark gray clouds and raindrops, a snowman and snowflakes. Prepare three piles of clothing to match these weather conditions (either actual clothes or pictures): a bathing suit and sunglasses, an umbrella and boots, mittens, hat and scarf. Show your child one of the weather pictures and discuss. Then your child can choose the right clothes for that kind of weather. If you decide to get out actual clothing, help your child dress up in these items and act out appropriate weather related activities.
