I love to teach songs and chants to my little ones. They love music, especially ones that go along with the season! Today, I’m sharing with you some songs and chants about winter. They are great for toddlers and preschoolers! You can use them in a classroom or in your homeschool. At the end of the post you’ll find a link to download the PDF copy of the songs.
Snowball — This is a fun song that you can incorporate actions into! You could even have kids wad up paper into “snowballs” if you don’t mind a mess. 🙂
I’m a Little Snowman — A cute, simple song about a snowman!
The Mittens on My Hands — This would be a good transition song to sing while getting ready to go outside in the cold!
5 Little Snowmen — Here’s a fun chant to sing about 5 snowmen. And you’re practicing counting and rhyming while singing this chant!
The Mitten Chant — Love this cute chant about mittens!
10 Little Snowflakes — A great song to practice counting to 10!
Snowkey Pokey — It’s the snow version of the Hokey Pokey! Great for getting the wiggles out with little ones!
Favorite Number Mittens — This is neither a chant or a song…just a great idea for transitioning to a new activity. I think it would be great to use if you have a group of students waiting in line for something, such as washing hands or getting backpacks.

These song are so stinking cute! Thank you! My son (almost 3) and I are always singing and making up songs, plus he’s on a serious snowman kick lately so the snowman songs are perfect!

Yay! Thank you for your sweet comment! And so cute about your son! 🙂
These are perfect! I have been doing homeschool pre K with my 4 yr old and almost 3 yr old. They love to have monthly/seasonal songs. These will be great to share with our co-op as well.
So happy to hear this! Thank you for sharing!
Hello, I don’t quite understand how the ‘favorite number mitten’ activity works. Help!
The favorite number mitten activity is a chance for students to practice identifying numbers. To set up, have numbers written on mittens (which are cut out of felt or paper). Then hold two of them up. Ask the student which number is their favorite. After they reply, place that mitten down and pick up a new mitten (so you have two in your hands again). Then ask the next student which is their favorite number. And keep repeating with all the students. I picture this as a transition activity to do while kids are lined up and you dismiss them one at a time to do a task, such as wash their hands or get backpacks. Does that help??
Thank you very much. I teach young children in Denmark. Hope it’s ok og I use theese songs to teach them English 🙂
Wonderful! That is so neat!
Thanks for sharing these cute songs. I´m a preschool teacher who works in Sweden. I might translate some songs to swedish. So excited!
