Snow: January 28th
With the chill in the air, Snow seemed like the perfect theme for Baby Time!
Here are the songs and rhymes we used:
Frost is in the Air
http://www.theholidayzone.com/winter/songs.htm
Tune of “The Farmer in the Dell”
The frost is in the air, the frost is in the air.
It’s wintertime, It’s wintertime,
The frost is in the air.
The frost is on the trees, the frost is on the trees.
It’s wintertime, It’s wintertime,
The frost is on the trees.
The frost is on the ground, the frost is on the ground.
It’s wintertime, It’s wintertime,
The frost is on the ground.
So inside I’ll stay, so inside I’ll stay.
Inside it’s nice, and I am warm.
So inside I’ll stay.
Snow Falls

Snow falls on my head.
Snow falls on my nose.
Snow falls on my boots
But it doesn’t touch my toes!
Snow falls on my hands.
Snow falls on my hair.
Snow falls on my shoulders.
Snow falls everywhere!
Five Little Snowmen
Tune: Five Little Ducks
Adapted from: http://stepbystepcc.com/snowman2.html
Five little snowmen round and fat.
Each one wearing a funny hat.
In the morning, out came the sun.
It looked down and melted one.
(lean baby over to the side)
Four * Three * Two * One
But do not worry. Do not fear.
The snowmen will all come back next year.
Hill of Snow

Climb, climb, climb up the hill of snow.
(Let fingers walk up your arm or bent leg.)
Jump on our sleds down we go.
Weeee!
(Let fingers slide down your arm or leg.)
Snowball
By Shel Silverstein
I made myself a snow ball
as perfect as could be.
I thought I’d keep it as a pet
and let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas
and a pillow for it’s head.
Then, last night it ran away.
But first — it wet the bed.

Ending songs:
Elevator Song
https://klmpeace.wordpress.com/rhymes-for-baby-and-toddler-storytimes/#59
Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low
Oh, the city is great and the city is grand
There are lots of tall buildings
On a little piece of land
We live way up on the fifty-seventh floor
And this is what we do
When we go out the door!
Take the elevator up, take the elevator down (3 x)
Then we turn around!
Peek a Boo
