Welcome to our collection of winter coloring pages. Kids and adults spend a lot of time indoors during the colder months, so having a stack of winter printable coloring sheets ready can save the day when the weather keeps everyone inside. Families often print several pages before a big snowstorm hits to make sure the kids have something fun to do while the roads are bad.
You will find many different designs here that you can easily download and print right at home. Younger children usually prefer easy winter coloring pages with large outlines and simple shapes. Older kids and adults sometimes spend hours shading in complex patterns or adding a lot of detail to the background. Our free winter coloring pages PDF files give you quick access to all these different choices.
We added plenty of variety so parents and teachers can find exactly what they need for a quick a project. You can print out a single picture of a sled sliding down a snowy hill or grab a whole set of fun characters for your classroom. Take a look below and pick out the pages your family or students will enjoy coloring today.
Craft Ideas To Do With Winter Coloring Pages
Once you finish coloring a page, you can turn it into a fun physical craft. Teachers often need quiet activities that work well at a desk in the classroom, while parents might want bigger projects for the kitchen table at home.
Snowy Winter Cabin Windows
Kids love making their artwork look like a real view from a window. Print out some snowy scene coloring pages and let your kids color them with crayons or markers.
Cut out four straight strips of brown construction paper to build a simple window frame. Glue the frame right over the top of the colored picture so it looks like you are peering outside into the cold.
You can also use popular snowman coloring pages for this craft. Seeing a cheerful snowman through the paper window frame is a fun surprise for kids to hang on their bedroom doors.
Glittery Winter Snowflake Art
Adding a little sparkle can make a plain coloring page look very nice. Grab your favorite shades of blue and color a large snowflake design.
Take a glue stick and trace over some of the lines on the paper. Sprinkle a tiny bit of silver or blue glitter over the wet glue and gently tap off the extra into a trash can so it does not get all over the floor.
Adults sometimes spend extra time adding details to snowflake patterns with fine tip glitter pens. This keeps the mess down and still creates a very pretty finished picture.
Mess-Free Winter Mud Mats
Winter weather brings lots of wet boots and muddy shoes inside the house. You can create a practical decoration using some winter activity printables.
Have your kids color a few different pages with dark, bold markers. Once they finish their artwork, slide the colored pages into clear plastic page protectors and tape the tops shut.
Tape these protected pages to the floor right next to your front door mat. Kids will know exactly where to line up their wet boots without getting mud on the actual carpet.
Winter Snowflake Wreaths
Making a wreath out of colored paper is an easy project for kids of all ages. Print out several sheets that feature different sizes of a snowflake.
Let the children color them lightly with colored pencils or soft crayons. Teachers often use coloring pages during indoor recess for this exact type of group craft.
Cut out the individual flakes and glue them in a circle around the edge of a paper plate that has the center cut out. Add a string to the top and hang the wreath on a wall or door.
Cozy Winter Cocoa Mugs
A warm cup of hot chocolate is a classic cold weather treat. You can recreate this feeling with a simple paper craft.
Print a coloring page that features a large mug or cup. Kids can color the mug with their favorite bright colors and draw fun patterns on the side.
Glue a few real mini marshmallows or some pulled apart cotton balls near the top of the colored mug. It gives the picture a nice popping effect that younger children really enjoy touching.
Easy Classroom Winter Banners
Teachers can brighten up a dull hallway with a custom banner made by the students. Give each child one of our winter wonderland coloring pages to complete at their desk.
Ask them to use bright colors so the pictures stand out from a distance. After everyone finishes, use a standard hole punch to make two small holes at the top of each page.
String a long piece of yarn through all the holes to connect the artwork together. Hang the banner across the classroom ceiling or down the main hallway for the whole school to see.
Winter Bear Track Calendars
Tracking the days until a special event or holiday is exciting for kids. Start by picking out a few winter animal coloring sheets.
A polar bear picture works very well for this project. Color the bear and glue the page to the top of a large piece of poster board.
Draw thirty small paw prints on the empty space around the bear. Have your child cross off or place a sticker on one paw print every day to count down the month.
Winter Penguin Sleigh Crafts
This is a fun activity that combines coloring with basic paper folding. Print out some cute winter coloring sheets that feature a penguin or a similar small animal.
Color the animal and carefully cut it out with safety scissors. Next, take a separate piece of thick cardstock and fold the edges up to look like a small box.
Tape your cut out penguin right into the paper sled. Kids can tie a piece of string to the front and pull their new paper toy across the carpet.
Indoor Winter Snowball Fun
You do not need real snow to have a fun snowball fight. Kids can color a few pages and then use the leftover scrap paper for a safe indoor game.
Have the children color their pages and hang them on the wall as targets. Take some blank printer paper or old newspaper and crumple it up into tight balls.
Let the kids gently toss the paper snowballs at the colored targets on the wall. It is a quick way to burn off some extra energy when it is too cold to play outside.
Paper Plate Winter Igloos
Building a mini igloo is a simple craft that pairs nicely with coloring time. Print out a few preschool winter coloring pages that show cold weather houses or snowy landscapes.
Cut a paper plate in half and let the kids draw brick lines on the back of the plate with a black marker. They can color the plate light blue to look like actual ice.
Cut a tiny door shape out of the bottom straight edge. They can use the extra pieces from the coloring pages to add little characters standing outside their new paper house.
