Winter Themed Activities for Kids

Build a Snowman Activity

Grab some soft clay, snowman pieces and get building! My girls love getting creative and building these soft snowmen year after year. If you want to mix it up you can even add colored clay for some vibrant snowmen.

Supplies:

• Soft Clay
• Snowmen Pieces
• Acrylic Ice
• Sensory/Craft Trays

Indoor Snowball Fight

One year my mom bought all of my 5 siblings and I these indoor snowballs to use with our families. They were a huge hit and still are! We love pulling them out for a wet free indoor snowball fight. They’re especially fun for my girls since we live in Las Vegas and don’t have real snow nearby for an actual snowball fight. They’re soft and so much fun!

Supplies:

• Indoor Snowballs

Colored Snowflakes

My girls loved this activity! If you’re doing this colored snowflake activity at a party keep in mind that you’re going to want to start this activity at the beginning of your party to allow some time for your snowflakes to dry prior to cutting.

Supplies:

• Coffee Filters
• Washable Markers
• Spray Bottle
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Color your coffee filters with a variety of washable markers
2. Using a spray bottle, spritz water on the cofee filters to allow the colors to blend. You can also rub lightly with your finger to help blend colors.
3. Let dry.
4. Fold coffee filter multiple times and cut along the folded side to create your snowflake
5. Use string to hang if you desire or tape on a window.

Winter Wonderland Sensory Bin

Sensory bins are always fun and for a winter wonderland party themed we of course needed some fake snow! Being a winter “onederland” party for my daughter’s first birthday, she of course was too young to play with the fake snow, but my older girls absolutely loved this sensory bin. All you need with your instant snow is a tray, bowls, and scoops, but I linked our other toys we added below for something a little extra.

Supplies:

• Instant Snow
• Candy Construction Building Toys
• Sensory Tray
• Sensory Scoops
• Silicone Nesting Bowls
• Wooden Trees
• Polar Bear Family
