Winter--Zoom Storytime

Thankfully I had this storytime put together for January, because I had to sub in at the last minute.  We didn't have a huge turn out, so I may use parts of this storytime again in January.

Song

Spread Winter Cheer!
tune: We Wish You a Merry Christmas

Let's all do a little clapping
Let's all do a little clapping
Let's all do a little clapping
And spread winter cheer!

My Little Snowman

I have a little snowman who has no clothes to wear,
So I'll give him a black hat, because he has no hair.

I have a little snowman who has not clothes to wear,
So, I'll give him a bright red scarf, since I have one to share.

I have a little snowman who has no clothes to wear
So I'll give him blue boots, a nice, warm, wooly pair

Now my little snowman has lots of clothes to wear
And I hope that my snowman knows how much I care!
