“Frozen Noses” by Jan Carr
“In the Snow” by Sharon Phillips Dreslow

Mittens on My Hand (Tune: Wheels on the Bus)

The mittens on my hands
Keep me warm,
Keep me warm,
Keep me warm,
The mittens on my hands
Keep me warm
All winter long

Repeat with:
The boots on my feet
The hat on my head

Snow on the Rooftop

This can be done with or without the music.

Snow on the rooftops
(make pointed roof shape with arms)
Snow on the trees
(hold arms up like tree branches)
Snow on the green grass
(wave hands over the ground)
And snow on me!
(point to self)

Snow on my mittens
(hold up hands)
Snow on my nose
(touch nose)
Snow on my head
(touch head)
And snow on my toes
(touch toes)

Twirling, swirling, whirling down
Down and down and down and down

10 Little Snowflakes

1 little, 2 little, 3 little snowflakes
4 little, 5 little, 6 little snowflakes
7 little, 8 little, 9 little snowflakes
10 little snowflakes on my tongue! (stick out tongue)

Snowflakes, Snowflakes

This is another song that can be done with or without the music.

Snowflakes, snowflakes dance around
Snowflakes, snowflakes touch the ground
Snowflakes landing on my nose
Snowflakes on my toes
Snowflakes, snowflakes dance around
Snowflakes, snowflakes touch the ground

Five Little Snowflakes

One little snowflake with nothing to do
Along came another and then there were two
Two little snowflakes laughing with me
Along came another and then there were three
Three little snowflakes looking for some more
Along came another and then there were four
Four little snowflakes dancing a jive
Along came another and then there were five
Five little snowflakes having so much fun
Out came the sun and then there were none!

“Froggy Gets Dressed” by Jonathan London

How it Went: The “Froggy Gets Dressed” flannel board is always very popular. Today I scaled it back a little because I have a lot of two year olds who were getting antsy. At the end of storytime they had time to play with froggy and put the clothes on him. This was a fun storytime!
