Since it’s been a little chilly here, we’ve been reading some kids’ book about snow. I wanted to share some of our favorites, and which activities the kids have enjoyed the most. Each of these books is a unique and fun narrative about different experiences in the snow.
Kids’ Books about Snow
No Two Alike, by Keith Baker. A story about two birds exploring a winter landscape together.
Ten Ways to Hear Snow, by Cathy Camper. The main character hears snow in so many different ways on her walk to her Grandma’s house. This is a cute one!
Snow, by Cynthia Rylant. Filled with lyrical descriptions of all the feelings and emotions evoked when experiencing snow fall.
Sugar Snow, by Laura Ingalls Wilder. An adaptation from the Little House on the Prairie books about how snow in late spring helps the trees make more syrup.
Tracks in the Snow, by Wong Herbert Yee. A cozy read all about a little girl who finds tracks in the snow outside her window. Then she follows them until she’s back to her house and realizes they’re her tracks from the day before.
The Snowy Day, by Jacks Ezra Keats. A celebrated classic all about the magic of winter’s first snow.
Snow Days, by Deborah Kerbel. A narrative of all the fun things to do in snow.
Into the Snow, by Yuki Kaneko. This story is about the exploration in snow and bond between a mother and child.
Snow Activities to do with Kids
After reading so many books about snow, we did some of these fun activities. All the worksheets in this Winter Worksheets for Preschoolers and Kindergarten packet are engaging and fun! Also, they’re all FREE!
My kids will cut out snowflakes forever! They’re not necessarily perfect paper snowflakes, but they have so much fun just cutting out different shapes then opening them up to reveal unique patterns. I fold a bunch of papers and let them go for it. If you want to let them follow along, here’s a tutorial for kids to learn how to cut paper snowflakes.
I hope you and your little ones will enjoy some of these kids’ books about snow and these fun activities during the winter months. It has been fun to get in a more regular habit of a story time every day from home. We lay out a blanket, have snacks, read a few books, sing songs, and do an activity or worksheet. We have loved it, and hope your family will too!
Sincerely,
