Snowman Learning Activities for Kids

If you live somewhere that gets snow (and really even if you don’t!) you might want to incorporate some snowman learning activities when it’s cold outside. There are lots of fun snowman themed worksheets and activities so let’s dig into it!

Use snowmen to learn about and talk about your feelings with these snowman feelings chart activities from Living Life and Learning. They also have a nice set of snowman worksheets including a fill-in-the-blank poem, I-spy and more.

Have kids draw a silly snowman and tell a story about it with these roll a snowman printables from The Artisan Life. This one is fun for the whole classroom to do so you can see how they all turn out different.

Get a little math practice in with the snowman spin printable math game from The Kindergarten Connection. Kids make the snowman into a spinner then spin two numbers and add them together to color in the mittens. Or play with shapes while building snowmen with these printable snowman shape puzzles from Preschool Play and Learn.

Snowmen are a great theme for STEM activities as well, of course, so why not turn a marshmallow building challenge into a snowman building challenge? This idea from MomBrite has kids trying to build the tallest snowman. Head to her post for all the details.

Teach Beside Me has a cute idea you can use in a lot of different ways called Save the Snowman. It’s balanced on straws and you can write sight words or math problems on the straws, and each round you have to remove a straw and read the word or answer the problem, trying to keep the snowman standing as long as possible. So fun!

Youaut-aknow has a great collection of winter fine motor skill ideas, several of which involve snowmen. The one shown involves snowman printables and buttons, which you can use for color matching or counting (or both, even!). This one kind of reminds me of a found-object snowman activity I did with my daughter years ago related to the book Snowballs.

Shark Week generally happens in July, but any time is a good time to learn more about sharks.

First, start with some fun whale facts like these from Kids Craft Room. Here I learned about the dwarf lantern shark, which is the smallest shark and only grows to about 6-8 inches (about 15-20 cm) long. It also emits light. How cool is that?

Natural Beach Living has some great printable shark information guides, where kids can learn about different kinds of sharks, match the facts to the pictures, or print out doubles and do a shark memory game.

Living Life an Learning has some great shark activity pages including the parts of a shark, types of sharks, a crossword puzzle and more. Also check out their parts of a shark and word scramble download, and a life cycle worksheet.

Learn about how sharks float with this great activity from JDaniel4’s Mom.

Need more facts about sharks? This fact pact from The WOLFe PACK on Teacher Pay Teachers includes fact sheets, a printable flip book, informational text, vocabulary, comprehension questions and more.

Living Montessori Now has a great collection of shark themed activities with a Montessori inspired twist. You’ll find a shark roll and cover, shark phonics and lots more shark activities Deb has collected from all over the Internet.

Remember the “Sharknado” movie? A Few Shortcuts turned the combination of sharks and tornadoes into a fun science activity. You’ll need a bottle connector for this project but otherwise should have everything you need on hand. Use their template to make your sharks out of aluminum foil. So fun!

You can also do some shark themed coloring with these coloring pages from Encouraging Moms at Home. Or make a cool 3D shark with this template from korkotak. And there are tons of different shark crafts collected in this post from Kids Activities Blog.
