Winter Preschool Activities and Free Printables

When the winter season arrives, it can be challenging to keep preschoolers engaged and entertained indoors. However, there are many fun and educational activities that you can do with your little ones to make the most of the colder months. From snowman building to sensory play, plenty of winter preschool activities will keep your child occupied and learning.

One of the most popular winter activities for preschoolers is building snowmen. If you live in an area with snow, take advantage of it by heading outside to build a snowman with your child.

You can also bring the snow inside using fake snow or snow dough to create indoor snowmen. Additionally, there are many winter-themed crafts that you can do with your child, such as making paper snowflakes or creating winter scenes with cotton balls and construction paper.

Another great winter activity for preschoolers is sensory play. Sensory play is an excellent way to engage your child’s senses and promote cognitive development. You can create a winter sensory bin by filling a container with fake snow, pinecones, and other winter-themed objects. 

You can also create a winter sensory bottle filled with glitter and water to simulate a snow globe. These activities will not only keep your child entertained but will also promote their learning and development.

Indoor Winter Activities

When the weather outside is too cold for outdoor activities, there is plenty of fun and engaging indoor winter activities that you can do with your preschooler. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Snowflake Crafts

Making paper snowflakes is a classic winter activity that is perfect for preschoolers. All you need is some white paper, scissors, and creativity. You can use different paper, such as tissue paper or glitter paper, to create different effects. You can also use stencils or templates to create more intricate designs. Hang the finished snowflakes around the house to create a winter wonderland.

Ice Painting

Try ice painting if you’re looking for a messy but fun activity. Fill ice cube trays with water and food coloring and freeze them overnight. The next day, give your preschoolers some paper and let them use the ice cubes as paintbrushes to create colorful winter-themed paintings. This activity is great for developing fine motor skills and creativity.

Winter Story Time

Winter is the perfect time for cozying up with a good book. Gather some winter-themed books, such as “The Snowy Day” by Ezra Jack Keats or “The Mitten” by Jan Brett, and read them with your preschooler. You can also create a winter-themed reading nook with blankets, pillows, and hot cocoa to make story time even more special.

These indoor winter activities are just a few examples of fun and engaging activities you can do with your preschooler during the winter months. With creativity and preparation, you can keep your little one entertained and engaged all season long.
