StoryWalk - A Big Bed for Little Snow

A Big Bed for Little Snow by Grace Lin

Little Snow loves the new big, soft bed Mommy made him for the long, cold winter nights. But Mommy says this bed is for sleeping, not jumping! What happens when he can't resist jump, jump, jumping on his new fluffy, bouncy bed?

5 little snowflake rhyme:

Watch a video of this "5 Little Snowflakes Rhyme" on our YouTube channel.

Five little snowflakes (hold up 5 fingers)
Dancing here and there. (wiggle fingers & wave hands around)
Then one little snowflake blew away in the air! (hold up 1 finger and wave it away)

Four little snowflakes (hold up 4 fingers)
Dancing here and there. (wiggle fingers & wave hands around)
Then one little snowflake blew away in the air! (hold up 1 finger and wave it away)

Continue to zero.

Zero little snowflakes (hold up closed fist)
Not one to be found. (shrug)
Cause five little snowflakes have fallen to the ground! (hold up 5 fingers and flutter them down – like snow falling to the ground)

Take a Dance Break and Do the Snowkey Pokey!

Do the Snowkey pokey with us on our YouTube channel.

Sung to: "Hokey Pokey"  (unfamiliar with the tune, here’s a video of the Hokey Pokey!)

You put your right mitten in,
you take your right mitten out,
you put your right mitten in
and you shake it all about.
You do the snowkey pokey
and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about.

Additional verses:

You put your left mitten in . . .
You put your right boot in . . .
You put your left boot in . . .
You put your hat in . . .
You put your snowself in . . .

Take A Walk Outside and Play “I see, I hear, I feel, I smell, I taste”

Play a game of “I see, I hear, I feel, I smell, I taste” – take turns describing the different things that you see, hear, feel, smell, or even taste and see if your partners can guess what you are observing!  This is a fun game to play indoors, but also great fun to play outside as you take a walk!  Try to explore all your senses!

Play in the Snow

Go outside and play in the snow!  Go sledding! Make a snow angel! Build a fort! Make a snowman! Have a snowball fight!  What other activities can you do in the snow?
