Snowmen Rhymes & Songs:

I Built a Little Snowman

I built a little snowman (make large circle with arms)

He had a carrot nose (point to nose)

Along came a bunny (hold up to bent fingers)

And what do you suppose? (shrug)

That hungry little bunny (make bunny again)

Looking for his lunch (hop bunny around)

Ate the snowman’s nose (pretend bunny is eating nose)

Nibble! Nibble! Crunch! (pretend to be eating a carrot)

I’m a Little Snowman – (Sing to the tune of I’m a Little Teapot)

I'm a little snowman short and fat,

Here are my buttons, here is my hat. (point to buttons, point to hat)

When the sun comes out, I cannot play, (arms over head like the sun, shake your head)

I just slowly melt away! (wiggle fingers and lower arms to show melting)

Five Little Snowmen – Print the images below and use to count down with the

rhyme. Have your child count the remaining snowmen as you take each one

away.

Five little snowmen standing in a row,

Standing straight and tall in the deep, cold snow.

Out came the sun, shining bright and hot all day,

And one little snowman melted away.

Continue to one...

No little snowmen on this sunny day,

I’ll have to make more on another snowy!
