A Chubby Little Snowman

by 1 Comment

A Chubby Little Snowman

(Tune: “Itsy Bitsy Spider“)

A chubby little snowman
Had a carrot nose.
Along came a bunny,
And what do you suppose?
That hungry little bunny
Looking for his lunch,
Ate that little snowman’s nose
Nibble, nibble, crunch!!

A chubby little snowman
Had a carrot nose. (point to nose)
Along came a bunny,
And what do you suppose?
(hold up two fingers on right hand to make bunny)
That hungry little bunny
Looking for his lunch,
Ate that little snowman’s nose (pretend to grab nose)
Nibble, nibble, crunch!!

Noisy Wind

(Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell“)

I like the noisy wind,
I like the noisy wind.
It roars and mutters
And shakes the shutters.
I like the noisy wind.

I like the noisy wind,
I like the noisy wind.
It flaps the flag
And rustles my bag.
I like the noisy wind.

Actions for Noisy Wind

I like the noisy wind,
I like the noisy wind.
It roars and mutters
(voice loud, then softer)
And shakes the shutters.
(Jazz hands)
I like the noisy wind.

I like the noisy wind,
I like the noisy wind.
It flaps the flag
(flap your arms back and forth)
And rustles my bag.
(Rub hands together briskly)
I like the noisy wind.

Winter’s Coming

(Tune: “Frere Jacques“)

Winter’s coming, Winters Coming.
It is Dark,
It is cold.
I am bundled snug and warm.
Animals sleep safe from harm.
Sleds and snow.
Cold winds blow.

Once There Was a Snowman

Bedtime

Bedtime

The evening is coming, the sun sinks to rest;
The crows are all flying straight home to the nest.
“Caw!” says the crow, as he flies overhead;
“It’s time little people were going to bed!”

The flowers are closing; the daisy’s asleep
The primrose is buried in slumber so deep.
Closed for the night are the roses so red;
It’s time little people were going to bed!

The butterfly, drowsy, has folded its wing;
The bees are returning; no more the birds sing.
The labor is over, their nestlings are fed;
It’s time little people were going to bed!
