Winter Ideas For Kids
This time of year is the perfect time to do indoor activities with the kids! Let the fun flow this winter with some easy crafts and activities!
Read on below for some of our favorite ideas.
Winter Books For Kids
Reading to your children is an excellent way to stimulate their imagination, develop their language and social skills, foster a love of books, and so much more!
Reading aloud encourages kids to take in more information than they might on their own by providing a shared experience that can be discussed after the book is done.
A child’s growing understanding of new words, characters, and stories help build reading comprehension—opening up future opportunities in learning and life. Above all else, reading to your kids creates special moments between you that they will cherish forever!
Here are some of the top-rated winter books for kids:
The Biggest Snowman Ever – When the mayor of Mouseville announces the town snowman contest, Clayton and Desmond claim that they will each make the biggest snowman ever.
The Snowy Day – This story shows a child’s wonder at a new world and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever.
Sneezy The Snowman– Sneezy is COLD! And he’s trying to warm up without success. But, the kids know exactly how to help him!

Winter Crafts For Kids
Crafting is an activity we love during the winter when the kids are inside more and need to keep their hands and minds active.
It not only helps them stay entertained and learn, but crafting also hones skills such as critical thinking, fine motor skills, and creativity. Add some crafts to your kiddo’s day for some fun this winter.
Toilet Paper Roll Penguin Craft – If you have some toilet paper tubes, you can have some penguins rolling around in no time. The kids will have a blast creating these waddling friends with some basic craft supplies! They’ll recycle that tube of cardboard into something fun to play with and learn about this cute winter animal at the same time.
Moose Handprint Craft – When you trace your kiddo’s handprints, they’ll turn them into a moose with this fun project! Kids can learn all about these majestic animals while making this keepsake craft.

Handprint Arctic Fox – Have your little ones learn about these beautiful arctic animals by transforming their handprints into a fox. They’ll love this fun and simple project and you’ll love that it’ll preserve their little hands with this winter craft.
Puffy Paint Snowman – Kids will love building a snowman with this homemade puffy paint! First, they’ll make puffy paint with just a couple of supplies and then use it to paint their own snowman to give it a cool 3D look. Kids will then use classic snowman apparel to make sure their snowman is complete!
Winter Activities For Kids
These walrus worksheets are a fun winter activity for kids that will have them learning. They’ll learn about this tusked sea mammal when they label the walrus, work on handwriting practice, and complete a letter maze. These worksheets are great for preschoolers to kindergarteners to develop fine motor skills, letter recognition, and handling scissors.
Your little cubs can practice counting as they connect the dots with these fun and cute polar bear dot to dot printables. As they go dot to dot, they’ll work on their fine motor control, number recognition, and counting up to 17. Once they complete the final picture, they can grab the crayon to color in these festive polar bears!

Grab the scissors and these snowman cutting activity pages where our fun and silly snowman will guide kids through cutting different paths, matching the missing half of the snowmen, and counting.
