Wintertime is synonymous with snowmen. On this page you can find a collection of poems about all sorts of snowmen: big ones, little ones, tall ones, impatient ones, chubby ones, snowmen with carrot noses and snowmen with top hats. Enjoy!!
A Chubby Little Snowman
A chubby little snowman
Had a carrot nose
Along came a rabbit
And what do you suppose?
That hungry little bunny,
Looking for his lunch,
ATE the snowman's carrot nose...
Nibble, nibble, CRUNCH!
A chubby little snowman
Had an apple nose.
Along came a pony,
And what do you suppose?
That hungry little pony
Looking for his lunch
Ate the snowman's apple nose
Crunch, crunch, munch!
How about adding these verses:
pickle/child
banana/monkey
cookie/bird
ear of corn/squirrel
Build a Little Snowman
Sung to 'I'm a Little Teapot'
Build a little snowman, starting with his feet.
Put on lot of snow, and pat it all so neat.
Then make a round ball, and put it up on top.
The sun will come out, and make the snowman hot.
Five Little Snowmen
Five little snowmen were built one day.
They looked to the sky and I heard the first one say:
"I don't think I'll stay for long in this spot.
The sun's mighty warm and I'm getting rather hot."
The second one said, with a frown upon his face,
"I think we'd be smart to get out of this place."
The third one said, with a tear in his eye,
"I think it's time for us to say good-bye."
The fourth one said, with a lopsided grin,
"We all seem to getting mighty thin."
The fifth one said, with a grin from ear to ear,
"We don't need to say good-bye; we'll be back again
next year."
Five Little Snowmen
Five little snowmen riding on the sled
(pretend five fingers are sledding)
One fell off and bumped his head
(pretend one finger falls off... rub head)
I called Frosty and Frosty said
(dial imaginary telephone)
"No more snowmen, riding on that sled!"
(Say in deep voice)
Four little snowmen...etc.
I'm a Friendly Snowman
by Shel Silverstein
I'm a friendly snowman, big and fat,
Here is my tummy and here is my hat.
I'm a happy fellow, here's my nose
I'm all snow from my head to my toes.
I have two bright eyes so I can see
All the snow falling down on me.
When the weather's cold, I'm strong and tall,
But when it's warm, I get very small.
I'm A Little Snow Person...
(I'm A Little Teapot)
I'm a little snow person,
Short and fat.
Here are my buttons,
Here is my hat.
When the sun comes out,
I cannot stay.
Slowly I just melt away.
I'm a Little Snowman
I'm a little snowman,
Short and fat.
Here are my mittens,
Here is my hat.
When the sun comes out,
I melt away.
See you next year
On a snowy day!
I'm a Little Snow Pal...
I'm a Little Teapot
I'm a little snow pal running by you,
I'm made of snow, this is true.
But when the children ask me to play
I just cannot sit all day.
Little Snowman
(to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot")
I'm a little snowman round and fat,
Here are my mittens,
Here is my hat.
Add a little scarf and a carrot nose.
You stand so tall when the cold wind blows.
Our Snowman
by
Harrient Whipple
We rolled a large snowball
All over the ground;
To gather up snowflakes
We pushed it around.
And as it went rolling
It grew and it grew.
Then we made another
So there would be two.
It was really hard work,
I called for my mother
To help put the second
On top of the other.
Then a smaller one yet
Was used for a head,
And we gave him a hat
And a muffler of red.
When his plump snowy arms
Were in the right place,
We looked for some felt
To mark out his face.
A mouth which was easy,
Two eyes and a nose,
The rest were for buttons
To trim up his clothes.
We turned his mouth upward
To give him a smile,
And hoped we could keep him
At least for awhile.
He looked very handsome
When he was all done,
And we let him stand guard
With a broom for a gun.
Snowman
Snowman, snowman,
Where did you go?
I built you yesterday
out of snow.
I built you high, and
I built you fat.
I put on eyes and a nose
and a hat.
Now you're gone,
All melted away,
But it's sunny outside
So I'll go out and play!
THE IMPATIENT SNOWMAN
by
Vivian Gould
I made a chubby snowman
And had a lot of fun.
I thought he looked so happy
When I left him in the sun.
I told him I was going
But was coming back to play.
I guess he got impatient
Because he ran away!
He
The Snowman
One day we built a snowman,
We built him out of snow;
You should have seen how fine he was,
All white from top to toe.
We poured some water over him,
To freeze his legs and ears;
And when we went indoors to bed,
We thought he'd last for years.
But, in the night a warmer kind
Of wind began to blow;
And Jack Frost cried and ran away,
And with him went the snow.
When we went out next morning
To bid our friend "Good Day",
There wasn't any snowman there...
He'd melted right away!
The Snowman
I made a great tall snowman
With two huge coal black eyes
And just to reach around his neck
Took two of Daddy's ties.
I put a hat of mother's
Upon his rounded head
And then I ran and left him
And hurried off to bed.
When I awoke next morning
Imagine my surprise
My snowman had run away
And left his hat, ties, and eyes!
The Snowman
I made a really big snowman
Of icicles and of snow.
The sun came out,
That snowman said,
"Uh-oh, I have to go!
I sure don't like
The looks of this,
That sun must leave today;
'Cause if he doesn't,
It won't be long
Until I melt away!"
The Snowman and the Bunny
A chubby little snowman
Had a carrot nose.
Along came a bunny
And what do you suppose?
That hungry little bunny
Looking for his lunch
Ate the snowman's carrot nose.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
The Snowman Song
I am a little snowman.
I am so fat and round.
I started from a snowflake
that fell upon the ground.
I have two buttons for my eyes,
a great big scarf of red,
I have a carrot for a nose,
a hat upon my head.
Watch
me
as
I
melt
to
the
ground.
THE SNOWMAN!
by
Catherine Clark
The man made of snow
Wears snowflake clothes,
A funny hat
And a carrot nose.
With an old broomstick
He stands on guard
And watches the games
From the snowbound yard.
He sees children play,
Having snowball fun
Till the bright, warm sun
Makes him run, run, ru
