School Is Out
Winter, winter has arrived,
The sound of school bells and high fives.
Term is out, and it’s time to go home,
Welcomed by hot chocolate and garden gnomes.
Fun in Winter
Happy children, playing in the snow,
Christmas music, wherever we go.
On the sledge, rocking and laughing,
Some in the warmth, playing and crafting.
Do You Want to Build a Snowman?
Gather around, little ones,
For the day is not over and done.
The lights are still shining, and the winter breeze is here,
All that is missing is your giggles and cheers!
So fluff the snow and make it round,
Grab your mitts, and gather around.
Sticks for arms, a carrot for a nose,
Buttons for eyes and a scarf for show!
The Joys of Winter
Winter is such a wonderful time,
Spending time with my friends and family.
Movie nights, play dates and different activities,
Winter feels like a season of opportunities.
To laugh, smile and giggle while building a fort,
Snack feasts, indoor picnics and cuddles beneath blankets.
Winter is a joy, winter is a joy,
What joy, winter is!
