Some of the reasons we love handprint craft activities are that they’re simple and cheap to make! You’ll need some colored paper, scissors, glue, and your child’s little hands. It doesn’t get much easier than that. 

If you’re curious, we prefer using colored card stock over construction paper because we love the vibrant colors of the card stock. If colored card stock isn’t an option, feel free to use construction paper!

Supplies

Directions

Start by downloading the template and printing it out. Once the template is printed, gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this snowy owl to life!

Winter Children’s Books

Reading aloud to kids is one of the easiest ways to bring fun and learning into their lives during the winter months. It gives them unique opportunities to learn and grow, explore different climates, exercise their imagination, and build essential language skills.

Kids can explore stories through different voices and characterizations, allowing for a richer experience than if the story was read silently.

In addition, reading aloud allows children to experience books as living things that contain exciting adventures and unpredictable surprises – something that can be enjoyed regardless of age or culture!

Here are some of the best winter animal books.
