Snowman Snowflake Coloring Pages

Once the holidays are over, it’s time to start thinking about snowflakes and snowmen. I find them just as festive as the holidays and I keep many snow themed decorations up until about Presidents’ Weekend.

Since I try to make everything multi sensory for Kevin, it’s only natural that I would use snowman coloring pages, snowflake coloring pages and other activities on weekends. And snow days, of course.

I normally love winter. I love when it’s cold and snowy, and all the things that go along with it. I love bundling up and going out to shovel, and then coming back in to snuggle in my pajamas with hot chocolate.

So far, this year has been a total bummer. It’s been in the 50s and 60s since winter started, with no big snowstorms in sight. I’m finding it hard to get into the “winter spirit” and we certainly don’t want a fire in the fireplace when it’s 62 degrees out.

But, I still have extended time at home with Kevin due to holidays and weekends, so I thought I’d share the activities we’re doing.

Snow Sensory Activities

Not every kid likes to play in the snow. Despite our best efforts of trying to make it fun for him, Kevin never enjoyed it. In fact, most days he treated snow with the same disdain that he has for sand. He loves big gross motor movement activities, like slides, rollercoasters and swings. We tried to replicate that same experience with sledding, but he never enjoyed it.

And you know what? That’s fine if he doesn’t like it. Even though it’s a small thing, sometimes we have to look past our own personal biases. Even ones as simple as “kids love the snow!”

Santa brought us some printer ink (yes, we are that boring sometimes) so I was excited to get going on some of these activities. We’re being extra cautious about where we go and staying home more. But Kevin still has 4 more days at home and I’m running out of sensory activities to do.

Snowflake Worksheet

This is really cute and uses Q-Tips or cotton swabs. It’s a great snowflake worksheet that also uses fine motor skills.

If you are a teacher or have another reason why you may want to do this skill multiple times, you may want to print them on card stock and get them laminated

Snowman Coloring Pages

This is really cute and good for all abilities. It also can be used for counting skills, matching skills and more.

Winter Coloring Page

When I found this on Canva, it referenced cookies. But, between the heart (valentines!) the snow and the cocoa, this really is a winter themed coloring page more than a holiday one, in my opinion.

Snowflake Coloring and Matching

Here is another one with snowflakes, matching and coloring.

Snowflake Coloring

I know parents and teachers have mixed feelings about word copying and lines, but you can ignore that part if you don’t use them. Or, use it as an opportunity to work on fine motor or practice handwriting skills.

You know what else happens in winter? Groundhog Day! I have several Groundhog Day Activities for kids, but those printable worksheets and PDFs are in a separate post.

You can always use the search feature in the right sidebar, as I have lots of other fun activities to go with seasons and holidays.

Skills to Practice with Kids During Travel and Activities

Fine Motor Skills-Games, crafts and coloring activities are a great way to use and practice a child’s fine motor skills.
Speech and Language– Many parents seek out a language-rich environment for their child. Any activity can be an opportunity to use and repeat new words and language, mimicking sounds, new vocalizations and articulations.
Executive Functioning Skills– Depending on the game or activity, it can be an opportunity to practice executive functions such as working memory, sequencing, following directions, task initiation and more.
Handwriting and Fluency- This piggybacks onto the language skills a child needs, but with worksheets, coloring pages and games, they can be a low-risk opportunity to practice handwriting and fluency.
Practicing Previously Acquired Skills-Applying already acquired skills across all environments, bring the classroom teaching into the real world.
Sensory-Textures, sounds, taste, vestibular, interoception, anything!
Social Awareness-Practice traditional social skills in a safe environment, such as: joint attention, taking turns, reciprocating conversation, waiting politely, and more.
Gross Motor-If you’re in a new place, practice walking across uneven surfaces, new surfaces, inclines & declines, stairs, or increasing endurance.
