*****
Replace with other rhyming pairs such as:
kite/white    cavy/navy    cold/gold  fan/tan
You're on your own for orange and purple
unless you let the kids make up rhyming words!

You can also sing about designs or patterns on mittens:
dad/plaid    pecked/checked    typed/striped    knotted/spotted or dotted

You can also use real mittens and sing about textures:
hurry/furry    Mary/hairy    loft/soft    huffy/puffy    lumpy/bumpy

With a group you can make mittens to hand out and hold up while you sing. Act out or point to key words. The child holding the mitten that rhymes can sing alone to answer: "They're my favorite mittens, a-nd they are _____." Or the group can sing the response and the child says/sings the color.
