"Pair" is a word that means exactly two matching things. Your left foot wears one boot and your right wears the other, so a pair is 2 boots.

A traditional snowman is built like a tower of three balls — biggest on the ground, middle one on top, and a small head at the peak. That stack of three makes 3 snowballs.

The sentence itself lists the months, so just count them out loud: December (1), January (2), February (3). That makes 3 winter months.

Reindeer are four-legged animals like deer, horses, and cows. Two front legs and two back legs equals 4 legs in all.

You have two hands, so each hand needs its own mitten. That means 2 mittens — one for the left hand and one for the right.

An igloo is a dome-shaped house that people in very cold places build by stacking blocks cut from frozen snow and ice. The thick ice walls trap warmth inside.

Snow is slippery, which lets a sled glide quickly across the ground. Without snow, a sled would not be able to slide at all.

A hat sits on the highest part of the snowman — the round head. It makes the snowman look funny and a little like a real person.

When you drink something hot, the heat spreads through your body and makes you feel cozy. So hot cocoa warms you up from the inside.

Each winter thing has its own part of the body or its own job: scarves wrap the neck, mittens fit over hands, boots slip onto feet, and a sled is for riding over snowy hills.
