Winter Art Projects for Kids

The changing of seasons can be a wonderful source for exploring creativity and self-expression with your littles. I’m a big fan of using process art projects to explore and create with my kids all year long.

Process art is perfect for little learners because it focuses on the creation process, not the finished product. Check out my favorite winter process art ideas and seasonal art projects for kids to get started on your creative journey this season.

Icicle Painting for Kids

Practice creative thinking, problem-solving, and fine motor skills while learning about ice and snow with this Icicle Painting for Kids process art activity.

There are so many fun ways to explore ice and snow with your little learners this winter. Create a snow sensory bin, make colored ice, and so much more with your preschoolers and kindergartners this January.

Snowstorm Winter Process Art

Encourage creative thinking and fine motor skills with this Snowstorm Winter Process Art activity. You’re definitely not going to want to miss it!

Exploring weather events like snowstorms through art is a great way to make winter weather less scary for kids. It’s also a lot of hands-on creative fun for your little learners this winter.

More Winter Story Time Inspiration

It’s no secret that I love reading aloud to my little learners. Reading aloud to kids is the very best way to help them build important early literacy skills, develop print awareness, and fall in love with books at an early age.

During the winter months, the weather sometimes keeps us indoors more than normal, so it’s the perfect time of year to read lots of great picture books together. Check out some of our family favorites with your kids this season:

What’s your favorite winter story to read aloud with little learners? Do you have winter art projects and drawing ideas I didn’t mention?

Share your favorite books and activities for the winter season in the comment section. I can’t wait to read about all your favorite fun ideas and try a few with my kids this winter too!
