Winter Activities For Preschoolers

This list of winter activities for preschoolers is filled with easy ideas; from snowman crafts to snow activities for preschoolers, it has it all. Winter is here, and we are ready to create the best winter lesson plans for our preschool classes. One of the ways I dive into winter with glee is to embrace all things winter wonderland with snow activities, snowmen books, snowflake crafts, and so much more. This list of more than 50 winter activities for preschoolers will keep your preschool class exploring, even if they are stuck inside at recess!

Snow Activities for Preschoolers

I say I love the snow, but I only really love it when it shuts our little island down, and we are all forced to take a few days off and literally chill out. What I am saying is I am a terrible Canadian who has become soft when it comes to snow since moving to the West Coast. That little admission aside, I do love exploring snow and ice with preschoolers. It’s so much fun to see them connect science to their own lives.
