Snow What Fun – 15 Snow Themed Activities!

Your list of winter activities for preschoolers would not be complete without some snow-themed activities thrown into the mix.

I don’t know if it’s the snow days out from school, sleigh riding, building snowmen, snowball fights, the white blanket that covers everything in sight, or the hot chocolate and movies we watch when we come inside to warm up. There’s just something so magical about snow – especially for kids. When I think of childhood, I think of the endless summers and those incredibly fun snow days!

But sometimes, depending on where you live, those snow days never come. That’s one reason I decided to put together this list of snow activities for preschoolers. Of course, you can use them in your classroom with or without the actual snow days! They’re snow much fun!

Materials for Your Winter Activities

I always like to suggest taking stock of the materials you already have before diving into projects. Then see if any of the snowflake activities match up with what you’ve found.

Of course, I’m also not opposed to picking up some extra supplies, either. The state of my own teacher stash can attest to that!

If you’re looking for some materials to grab for your upcoming winter activities, here are some ideas (I may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post):

• Cotton balls
• Glitter
• White puff paint
• Pinecones
• Snowflake confetti
• Snowflake hole puncher
• Tempera paint
• Watercolor paints
• Q-tips
• Craft sticks
