Winter Limericks for Kids

⛸ Slippery Ice ⛸
A girl tried to skate on the ice,
But wobbled around once or twice.
She slipped with a spin,
And fell with a grin,
Then said, “That was actually nice!”

☕ Cozy Cocoa ☕
A snowstorm was starting to blow,
So inside we all had to go.
With cocoa so sweet,
And blankets so neat,
We warmed up while watching the snow!

🐧 Penguin Parade 🐧
A penguin slid down with a glide,
His friends all came down for the ride.
They slipped and they spun,
It looked like such fun,
That I wished I was there by their side!
