Build A Snowman Winter Art Activity for Kids

January 6, 2020 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

We live in the Deep South. In fact, I’ve always lived down here.

So I’ve built a snowman in real life…a total of one time. Even then, we ended up using a broken clothes hanger for the mouth, because we didn’t have coal.

But I still try to get in on the winter snowman fun with students.

And this fun Roll A Snowman winter art activity is great for indoor wintry-themed game play!

It’s a quick activity to set up and you can let students play it at centers or small groups!

This quick roll a snowman winter art activity makes a great winter art game for kids!

Build A Snowman Winter Art Activity for Kids

To use this build a snowman roll and color winter art activity, you’ll need the following: (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

  • Printer (with ink)
  • Cardstock
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick
  • Double-sided tape (optional)
  • Colored pencils

Build A Snowman Winter Art Activity

To get started, simply print the snowman coloring sheet and the six-sided paper die.

The die is color-coded, so students can see which colors to use on each part of the snowman.

Tip: I like to use cardstock for this activity, because the die holds up better for rolling when it’s printed on heavier paper.

Simple Build A Snowman Winter Art Activity

Cut out the six-sided die, being sure to leave the foldable flaps in place. You’ll need to fold them in as you put the die together.

Use double-sided tape or a glue stick to assemble the die and then you’re good to go!

Easy Snowman Roll and Color Art Activity

As students take turns rolling the die, they can color the section of the snowman as shown on the cube.

You can also use it as an individual activity and let early finishers work on this in between subjects.

There’s just something about playing with playdough that captures kids’ attention.

Free Winter Printables for Preschoolers

December 13, 2016 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Winter is a great time to get kids excited about learning! Especially when the weather is so awful no one wants to venture outside. 🙂

If you have older kids (like I do), it can be tough to keep your younger ones involved in your homeschooling lessons. Our preschooler always wants to be at the table with her older siblings during class, no matter what we’re learning about. I could be teaching organic chemistry and she’d want to be involved.

So I use a lot of preschool printables to keep her learning along with the older kids. If you enjoy using winter printables with your children, these free winter printables for preschoolers are a fun way to let your younger kids get involved!

And if you love these, don’t miss our printable winter sight word flashcards – perfect for working on early reading skills!

Free Snowflake Math Factors Printable Activity

December 19, 2013 by Selena Robinson 3 Comments

Hey everyone! We’re back from a short break this week with a free set of homeschool printables that are perfect for winter learning!

Tigger’s had her struggles with math over the years, so we’ve had to add a little fun to our math work to help her stay focused. This month, we decided to tackle multiplication factors with set of free snowflake math factor printables! Read on to see how to get your copy!

If you like these, don’t miss our ideas on how to use them for a fun snowflake math factor craft!

These free snowflake math factor printables are perfect for helping kids work on multiplication skills!

Free Snowflake Math Factor Printables

To use these printables, you’ll need the following: (Affiliate links are included in this post. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

  • Printer (with ink)
  • Printer paper
  • Pencil

We designed the activity so that the snowflake arms all show numbers that are factors of the larger number in the center. They work on a diagonal, so there are three numbers already given and the kids have to find the other number that makes a factor pair.

Printing Snowflake Math Factor Printables - Look! We're Learning!

Example: On the sheet above, the center number is 36, so all of the numbers on the snowflake are factors of 36. Kids will need to find the missing number in each factor pair: 18 x ? = 36; 9 x ? = 36; 3 x ? = 36, and so on.

Working with Snowflake Math Factor Printables - Look! We're Learning!

To give Tigger a helping hand, we walked her through the first one. We’ve covered multiplication with her in the past and found that the circles and dots method seems to work best for her.

Working with Math Factor Printables on the Chalkboard - Look! We're Learning!

We decided to let her try the next one on her own.

Using the Blackboard with Snowflake Math Factor Printables - Look! We're Learning!

She did great! She counted up the numbers and filled in the spots pretty easily.

Completing the Snowflake Math Factor Printables - Look! We're Learning!

We added some larger numbers in the pack as well to help kids test their multiplication facts, but a full answer key is provided at the back.
