(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot”)
I’m a littlesnowman (Bendknees.)
Short and fat. (Extendarms in a circle.)
Here is my broomand (Holdout right hand.)
Here is my hat. (Touchhead with left hand.)
When the sun comesout (Slowlymelt to the ground.)
I’ll melt away.
But I’ll be back anotherday!
I’m a snow lady, (Bendknees.)
White and round. (Extendarms in a circle.)
In my hat andapron (Touchhead and waist.)
I don’t make asound. (Indexfinger on lips.)
When the sun comesout (Slowlymelt to the ground.)
I’ll melt away.
But I’ll be backanother day!

Snow People
Instead of drawingsnow “men,” encourage children to paint or draw snow ladies, snow children,snow pets, and other characters.
Snow Dough
You can use anyplay dough recipe for snow dough. Simply omit the food coloring and let the children knead in iridescentglitter to make it sparkle. (Myfavorite 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, stirringconstantly until the mixture forms a ball and sticks to the spoon. Cool and knead. Store in airtight containers.)
Note! Make sure children wash hands beforeand after playing with dough.
