Cute Little Snowman
Cute little snowman (hold up left fist for snowman)
had a carrot nose. (stick out one finger of left fist to be the nose)
Along came a rabbit, (hold up 2 fingers of right hand for rabbit ears)

That hungry rabbit (move right hand back and forth.)

Nibble, nibble, crunch.

MOVEMENT:
