Winter Books For Kids

As any parent knows, reading to your kids is a great way to promote their literacy skills. But did you know that reading aloud to them can also help them in other ways?

Reading aloud helps build bonding between parents and children. So, the next time you’re looking for a way to connect with your little ones, try cuddling up with a good book! You’ll be doing them (and yourself) a world of good.

Below are some of our favorite winter-themed books.

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 a great activity any time of year, but we especially love it during the winter when the kids are cooped up indoors and need to keep their hands and minds active. Crafting not only keeps them busy and entertained but will also hone skills such as critical thinking, fine motor skills, and creativity.

Crafting is a great way for kids to express themselves and adapt the project to be how they envision it. When they can do this, it fosters their creativity and builds their self-confidence. Here are some of our favorite winter craft ideas:
