Red mitten, red mitten, what do you see?
I see a blue mitten looking at me.

Repeat for different colored mittens

Song: “Boots, Parka, Scarf and Hat” (Tune: “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”)
Boots, parka, scarf and hat, scarf and hat.
Boots, parka, scarf and hat, scarf and hat.
In wintertime we dress like that!

Book: Go, Sled! Go! by James Yang

Song: “Snowflake, Snowflake” (Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”)
Snowflake, snowflake, dance around.
Snowflake, snowflake, touch the ground.
Snowflake landing on my nose.
Snowflake landing on my toes.
Snowflake, snowflake, dance around.
Snowflake, snowflake, touch the ground.

Book: Bear & Hare, Snow! by Emily Gravett

Song: “Winter Pokey” (Tune: “Hokey Pokey”)
You put your right mitten in, you put your right mitten out,
You put your right mitten in, and you shake it all about.
You do the winter 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 winter hat in…
You put your snowsuit in…
