15 Winter Learning Activities for Toddlers and Preschoolers

Inside: Have fun with this assortment of winter learning activities! Can be adapted for toddlers and preschoolers at home and in the classroom.

I love how there is such a wide variety of winter learning activities!

We start our winter theme as soon as we get back from break at the start of January.

We include ice and snow, winter clothing, and hibernation. When searching through Pinterest, there is a lot of crafty ideas floating around, but not as many learning activities.

Therefore, I thought I’d highlight the learning activities that I think would work well with toddlers and preschoolers, including a couple of our own.

(Note: some of these might need to be tweaked a bit for younger children. You know your toddlers best if you think these would work or would be best to wait another year.)

I hope you enjoy this collection!

    Love these ideas!! (However, you need to look into one of the links. When I tried to get the counting mats from The Measured Mom, I was led to an adult site!!) Thanks for sharing!!

      Hi Karen, The Measured Mom had lost her domain for a short while today, and unfortunately adult content was replaced. Anna was so very stressed, but her site is up and running again. I’m glad she was able to get her site back! Sheryl
