SNO' FUN

I’m a Little Snowman
(Tune:  “I’m a Little Teapot”)

I’m a little snowman                   (Bend knees.)
Short and fat.                           (Extend arms in a circle.)
Here is my broom and                (Hold out right hand.)
Here is my hat.                         (Touch head with left hand.)
When the sun comes out            (Slowly melt to the ground.)
I’ll melt away.
But I’ll be back another day!

I’m a snow lady,                          (Bend knees.)
White and round.                        (Extend arms in a circle.)
In my hat and apron                   (Touch head and waist.)
I don’t make a sound.                  (Index finger on lips.)
When the sun comes out             (Slowly melt to the ground.)
I’ll melt away.
But I’ll be back another day!

Snow People
Instead of drawing snow “men,” encourage children to paint or draw snow ladies, snow children, snow pets, and other characters.

Snow Dough
You can use any play dough recipe for snow dough.  Simply omit the food coloring and let the children knead in iridescent glitter to make it sparkle.  (My favorite dough is: 2 cups flour, 2 cup salt, 2 TB. cream of tartar, 2 TB. vegetable oil, and 2 cups water.  Mix ingredients together in a pan until smooth.  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture forms a ball and sticks to the spoon.  Cool and knead.  Store in airtight containers.)

Note!  Make sure children wash hands before and after playing with dough.
