Cold Weather Printable Activities for Young Kids!

Yes, it is VERY cold outside! Many parents, caretakers, and teachers are forced to keep their little ones inside where it is safe and warm. Still, youngsters love to learn about cold weather. For many preschoolers, winter is a new concept. Learning about snow, ice, and temperatures is an exciting stepping stone for preschool aged children. A great way to enrich your winter-themed learning program or story time is to use relative worksheets. Have fun with your little one using these winter-themed printable activity sheets!



The first activity is a P is for Penguin sheet. On this activity, children locate all the letter P's and color them with their choice of color. The rest of the letters should be left blank. For added fun, children can also color the two penguins underneath the letter chart. The second activity is a polar bear maze. Almost all children love mazes. Mazes help children get familiar with holding a writing utensil in the correct position, keeping within the lines - increasing fine motor skills. This maze requires children to help the mother polar bear find her baby cub. The cuteness of the character come to life if children chose to color them.


Stay warm!
