Ideas for home and classroom
- Cut out the snowflake after coloring and tape it to a window.

- Talk about what you wear before going outside, then color the hat and the scarf.
- Compare the penguin and the polar bear: they live at opposite ends of the world.
How to use these pages
Winter pages for preschoolers: a snowman, a penguin, a polar bear, a snowflake, hot cocoa, ice skates, a knitted hat, an igloo and two children dressed for the cold. Each page is one subject with a 7pt outline and no tiny details to fill. Color them on the day it snows, or when it is too cold to go out.
For a classroom, the ZIP download gives every page as a PDF. The snowflake and the snowman cut out well for a window display, and the hat and scarf pages pair with a talk about dressing for the weather.
What to expect at ages 3 to 5
Three-year-olds color the big rounded shapes and enjoy naming the animals. Four- and five-year-olds notice the snowflake's symmetry and start coloring matching arms the same color. The snowman has the largest areas, so it is the easiest one to start with.
Questions about these pages
When should I print these?
Any time from December through February. These pages have no Christmas references, so they work for the whole cold season and for classrooms that keep the holidays out of the room.
Are the lines thick enough for a 3-year-old?
Yes. Every page in this set is drawn at a 7pt outline, the preschool weight used across the site, so the shapes stay visible under a crayon and are wide enough for a child who is still learning to stay inside the lines.

Printing tips
Every page downloads as a PDF in A4 and US Letter. Print at 100% scale on plain paper. For toddlers, heavier paper (120 gsm or more) holds up better to enthusiastic crayon work. The ZIP bundles contain one PDF per page.
