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! It’s an adorable winter craft to make over the Christmas holiday. Plus, there are so many different ways to customize this adorable winter craft, making it a perfect activity for children of all ages.
