Winter Themed Arts & Crafts Activities
These arts and crafts activities are some of our favorites! You'll find colorful snowflakes, cool snowman, cute mitten and bear crafts and more!
Winter Themed Fine Motor Activities
Fine motor skills activities help kids strengthen the small muscles that control their hands, fingers, and thumbs. Strong muscles help kids do things like feeding themselves, grasping toys, buttoning and zipping clothes, writing, drawing, and more! It's fun to take a new theme (like winter) and use it to motivate kids to develop their fine motor skills without even realizing they're doing it!
Winter Themed Snacks
Making snacks and treats together is always popular! Kids learn how to follow directions, use their creativity, and try new things! If you have another favorite winter themed snack, tell me about it in the comments! We're always looking for more ideas.
Winter Themed Sensory Play Activities
Sensory plan helps kids explore their five senses in different ways. You can also embed so many learning opportunities in sensory plan! These activities are simple to set up and so much fun!
Winter Themed Science Activities
You can learn science concepts using materials you have around the house, like baking soda and vinegar! Science projects don't need to be hard of complicated. You're going to love these simple ideas.
Winter Themed Name Activities
Kids love their names! I always introduce names first when I'm beginning to explore the alphabet with kids because names are so important to them! I love finding new ways to explore names with kids and using fun themes, like these winter themed name activities.
Winter Themed Games
Games get kid's bodies and minds working! I'm always looking for new winter themed games to add to our list. If you have any favorites, share them in the comments!
