Here are a few children's winter poems for you to enjoy!

Jack Frost by Helen Bayley Davis

Someone painted pictures on my
Windowpane last night
Willow trees with trailing boughs
And flowers, frosty white,

And lovely crystal butterflies;
But when the morning sun
Touched them with its golden beams,
They vanished one by one .

Snowball by Shel Silverstein

I made myself a snowball as perfect as could be
I thought I'd keep it as a pet and let it sleep with me
I made it some pajamas and a pillow for its head
Then last night it ran away
But, first it wet the bed.

Check out this fun video called "Funny Snowmen" that's filled with a lot of silly different snowmen! This would be fun to watch with your children! Go to weather.thefuntimesguide.com/2010/02/winter_videos.php and scroll down to the You Tube video that's called "Funny Snowmen"-Kris Allen "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas." Enjoy!
