Five Little Snowflakes

Five Little Snowflakes
Five little snowflakes with noting to do.
Along came another and
Then there were two.

Two little snowflakes laughing with me.
Along came another, and
Then there were three.

Three little snowflakes looking for some more.
Along came another, and
Then there were four.

Four little snowflakes dancing a jive.
Along came another, and
Then there were five.

Five little snowflakes having so much fun.
Out came the sun, and
Then there were none!


This is such a cute little song to do with children it teachers counting, number order, and when you do it with the hand movements they are learning coordination and so much more. At the end of this song my daughter and I always say "We're melting" and she laughs and laughs.

Also along with the song we do an art project!! yay. I cutout snowflakes and we decorated these (there are more to come with different way to decorate) these we did dobber art! I got bingo dobbers at the dollar store for her to use. Dobber art is fun for all ages because it helps them with fine motor and they love it!

There are a number of things that you can do with these snowflakes I am going to string mine on fishing line and hang then across a large doorway in my home so that we can sing, point and count the snowflakes as we sing the song. You could put them on your cabinets to decorate, on your walls, in front of your windows, on your windows and so many more places. Children love having their art displayed around the house if you can try to hang some of the art eye level so that they can enjoy their creations too!
