There was a chubby snowman [cradle hands as if holding snowman]
with a carrot nose [point to nose].
Along came a bunny [make hopping rabbit ears with fingers].
And what do you suppose [questioning gesture, two upraised palms]?
The hungry little bunny [put hand over eyes as if looking]
was looking for his lunch.
He ate that snowman's carrot nose,
nibble, nibble, MUNCH!
It really is too cute for words. They learned this hand play at school and did it for me several times yesterday. Tonight, they did it for Mama, complete with Bud holding a plastic carrot from the play kitchen and Sis maneuvering her stuffed bunny Amy along with the words.
And this afternoon, when they finally built that snowfriend Sis had been hoping for (even if I didn't roll the balls the way Caillou did it!), they both did the rhyme outside in the snow, with their grape-eyed, carrot-nosed, hay-mouthed snowfriend between them.
