Five Little Snowmen Song and Craft

By

Five Little Snowmen is the fifth five little song and craft we have shared on the blog. There is something really fun about these rhymes.  We started with Five Little Pumpkins  as few years ago. JDaniel relearned it in kindergarten this year. He sang it over and over again. That inspired me to look for some more five little songs. Since then we have done Five Little Turkeys, Five Little Christmas Trees,  and Five Little Firecrackers.
Five Little Snowmen’s craft involved white paint, a potato masher, and some odds and ends from our craft closet. I used black paper to make the white paint really stand out in hindsight I should have probably used a lighter color.

Five Little Snowmen
5 little snowmen sitting on the ground, (pat hands on floor)
the first one said; “oh my aren’t we round.” (make circle with arms)
The second one said; “there are snowflakes in the air.” (wiggle fingers above head)
The third one said; “but we don’t care.” (shrug shoulders)
The fourth one said; “Lets run and run and run. (pat hands quickly on the floor)
The fifth one said; “I’m ready for some fun.” (smile)
Whew went the wind (blow) and out came the sun (make a circle with arms over head)
and the five little snowmen knew their fun was done.(pretend your melting)

JDaniel painted the white paint onto the potato masher.  I thought it would keep the paint from looking clumpy. It would have probably looked more natural with clumps.

We started by placing the paint loaded potato masher onto the paper to make circular prints. JDaniel thought we need to wiggle the masher a little to create blurred lines. Honestly, his blurred lined snowman really looked better than mine.

JDaniel also placed his circles at angles so, they aren’t standing straight and tall. I really love the added character he added to his snowmen.
When the snowmen had dried, we pulled out some odds and ends from our craft closet and decorated them. My husband thinks they look like snow penguins. What do you think?
If you love five little songs like we do, watch for a post on Five Little Valentines song and craft.
