When the weather is cold outside it's the perfect opportunity to snuggle up with a book! We'll be highlighting some cozy books this week at storytimes at Handley Regional Library so head over for some heartwarming winter books, songs, and more.
While you're there, sign up for our Winter Reading Challenge and pick up a sticker sheet so your child can help you track the progress. Head over to our Winter Reading Challenge page to learn how to sign up and track!
You can find some of our favorite Warm and Cozy books by searching the catalog for the tag: #WarmandCozy.
We also have some song and rhyme suggestions that will add some educational fun to your comfy world. Colors, counting, and music. What a cozy combination.
Colorful Mittens
(Sung to the tune of “Six Little Ducks”)
Colorful mittens for me and you
Red ones, yellow ones, blue ones too.
But the one pair of mittens
that rhymes with fellow,
They’re my favorite mittens,
they’re the color yellow!
Continue with rhymes pairs for each color:
bed/red shoe/blue
bean/green crown/brown
sink/pink track/black
Hat and Mittens
(to the tune of “Head and Shoulders”)
Hat and mittens,
coat and boots, coat and boots,
Hat and mittens,
coat and boots, coat and boots,
Scarf and snow pants, warm socks too,
Hat and mittens,
coat and boots, coat and boots!
Snowflake, Snowflake, Fancy Free
(tune: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)
Snowflake, snowflake, fancy free,
Snowflake, snowflake, dance with me.
First on my head, then on my toes,
Then on my nose, where the cold wind blows,
Snowflake, snowflake, turn around,
Snowflake, snowflake, touch the ground.
Snowflake, snowflake, fancy free,
Snowflake, snowflake, dance with me.
Touch my ear, then my knees,
Snowflake, snowflake, I'm about to freeze!
Snowflake, snowflake, turn around,
Snowflake, snowflake, touch the ground.
5 Little Snowflakes
One little snowflake with nothing 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.
