All you need are snowflakes and a sheet.

No two snowflakes are the same.  Isn't it amazing that God the creator of heaven and earth takes time to uniquely make each snowflake.  God has also knitted all of us (me and you) together...making every part of us...He even knows how many hairs are on our heads. 
Put a handful of snowflakes in the middle of sheet…these snowflakes represent God’s love for you and me…each time you throw a handful of snowflakes share something that the Lord has blessed you with...showering His love on His children (Jesus!, kindness, love, friends, food, water, etc.)
Now let’s watch it snow God’s love.
Every time it snows…think of God and how much He loves you.

Fingerplays: 
"I'm a Friendly Snowman" Tune: "I'm a Little Teapot"
I'm a friendly snowman big and fat.
Here is my tummy, here is my hat.
I'm a happy fellow, here's my nose.
I'm all snow from head to toes.

I have two bright eyes so I can see.
All the snow falling down on me.
When the weather's cold I'm strong and tall.
When it's warm I get real small.

"Five Little Snowman"
Five little snowmen riding on a sled.
One fell off and bumped his head.
I called Frosty and Frosty said,
"No more snowmen riding on the sled!"

Lots of little snowflakes smiled at me.
I shook that tree as hard as I could.
Down came the snowflakes
They were cold!

"My God Is A Very Very Very Big God" from cd A Very Very Very Big God (Emu Music, emumusic.com)
My God is a very very very big God.
He made the stars and He made the sea.
He made the cats and the bumble bees.
My God is a very very very big God, and He made me.

My God is very very very big God.
He made the stars and He made the sea.
He made the grass and He made the trees.
My God is very very very big God, and He made me.

Dance:
"I Belong to Him" from cd A Very Very Very Big God (Emu music, emumusic.com)
Jesus Christ
He is my Lord and king.
From my nodding head to my stamping feet
Whoah
I belong to Him.

Each time add these body parts:  To my gangling arms, from my rumbling tum, to my swinging hips, to my knocking knees.

Bible Story:  Talk about how Mary, Joseph and the Shepherds were afraid when they first learned about Jesus, but they learned that they did not need to fear and they put their trust in God. 

Bible Verse:  Psalm 56:3 "When I Am Afraid" by Steve Green

Jingle Bells:
"Bells Up and Down"
Now my bells are up and now my bells are down.
Now my bells are dancing all around the town.
Tap them on your shoulders, tap them on your head.
Tap them on your knees, now tuck them into bed.

"Into My Heart"
Into my heart, into my heart, into my heart, Lord Jesus.
Come in today.  Come in to stay.  Come into my heart, Lord Jesus.
