Winter is here, and we’re ready to embrace the cozy vibes, chilly air, and of course, lots of fun indoor activities to keep your little ones engaged. Whether you're looking to add some extra excitement to their daily routine or need something to do on those snowed-in afternoons, we've got you covered with some creative winter activity ideas. From fun activity workbooks to hands-on crafts, we’ve got everything you need to make this winter season special for your preschooler or kindergartner.
Winter Activities Workbook for Kids
Winter is the perfect time to cozy up with a good book- especially one that is engaging and gives little minds lots of fun, seasonal learning activities to work on! Our Winter Activities Workbook is designed to keep your kids engaged while building important skills like letter recognition, fine motor development, and even early math concepts, and more!
These activities are designed to keep your child’s mind active and sharp, even when the weather outside is frightful. Whether it’s practicing writing their letters in a snowy scene or solving a wintery math problem, this will keep them entertained and learning at the same time!
Pro Tip: Workbooks make for a great quiet-time activity. Set up a little “learning nook” with cozy blankets and let your child dive into a winter-themed workbook while you enjoy a hot cocoa (and some peace and quiet!).
Activities
When the temperatures drop, staying active indoors can be a challenge. But wintertime is the perfect excuse to get creative with activities that get your little one busy, learning, and having fun!
December Activities
All of these Winter activities are as easy as just ‘click, print, and go’! These can all be printed as individual activities, or you can find them all in a bundle which includes everything! We are obsessed with all of them but a few highlights include: December traceable calendar, monthly coloring pages, Christmas wishlist writing activity, and mazes and word searches!
Gingerbread Activities
Not only is gingerbread one of the yummiest holiday treats, but it also makes for super fun, engaging activities! Grab them all in our Gingerbread Bundle, or pick and choose your favorites individually! We cannot wait to try out the gingerbread bingo, gingerbread house directed draw, and the various gingerbread writing activities!
