Five Little Snowmen
5 little snowmen all in a row
Each with a hat
And a big red bow.
Out came the sun
And it stayed all day
And one of those snowmen melted away.
(Repeat with 4, 3, 2 & 1 snowmen)
Chubby Little Snowman
A chubby little snowman
Had a carrot nose (Point to nose)
Along came a bunny (Make a bunny with 2 fingers)
And what do you suppose?
That hungry little bunny
Looking for his lunch
Ate that little snowman’s nose (Pretend bunny eats your nose)
Nibble nibble crunch!
I’m a Friendly Snow Pal
(Sung to “I’m a Little Tea Pot”)
I’m a friendly snow pal, big and fat,
Here is my tummy, and here is my hat.
I’m a happy fellow, here’s my nose,
I’m all snow from my head to my toes.
I
have two eyes so I can see,
All the snow falling down on me.
When the weather’s cold, I’m strong and tall,
But when it’s warm, I get very small
