Children love to see things
go in one end of a cardboard tube and come out the other end. The
longer the tube the better! Talk about what will fit in the tube
and what is too big. Put two things in and see which comes out first.
Trace your toddler’s
hand onto a paper sack for a mitten pattern. Cut two mittens from
several kinds
of materials (paper, cloth, sandpaper, cardboard). Put one of each
kind on a table and the others in a paper sack. Have your child pull
one mitten from the sack and match it with its mate. This matching
game with work with socks, towels, shoes, or any paired items. |
| The
Snowman and the Bunny
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 the snowman's carrot nose.
Crunch, crunch, crunch!
Five Little Snowmen
Five little snowmen all made
of snow,
Five little snowmen standing in a row.
Out came the sun and stayed all day,
And one little snowman melted away.
Four little snowmen…
Three little snowmen…
Two Little snowmen…
One little snowman made of snow,
One little snowman standing in a row.
Out came the sun and stayed all day
And the last little snowman melted away. |
It
Is Winter (tune of Frere Jacques)
It is winter (repeat
each phrase)
What can we do?
We can build snowmen.
One or two.
We can go skating. | On the ice.
We can spin around. | Isn’t this nice?
We can go sledding. | Down the hill.
We are going faster | Took a spill.
We are cold now | Head to toe.
Go into the kitchen. | Drink hot cocoa.

 You
put your mitten in,
you take your mitten out.
You put your boots in,
you take your boots out.
You put your coat in,
you put your coat out.
You put your hat in,
you put your hat out.
You put your scarf in,
you put your scarf out.
