❄️ What’s Inside the Winter Holidays Printables?
MEKA's Winter Holidays printables include four thoughtfully designed activities to spark festive joy while encouraging hands-on learning.
1️. Build a Snowman
What It Is: A creative activity where kids assemble their own snowman from a set of mix-and-match pieces.
Why It’s Valuable: Enhances fine motor skills, spatial reasoning, and creativity as children layer and position the snowman parts.
Play Extension Idea: Hide snowman pieces in a sensory filler like cotton balls. Ask kids to “dig” through the snow to find the pieces before building their snowman.
2. Count the Holiday Items
What It Is: A festive counting activity featuring holiday-themed items like bells, presents, and hats.
Why It’s Valuable: Strengthens number recognition, counting skills, and early math concepts in a cheerful, hands-on way.
Play Extension Idea: Use a sensory bin filled with small holiday trinkets and encourage kids to count and sort the items into categories like color, shape, or type.
3. Color by Numbers
What It Is: A holiday-themed color-by-number sheet with designs like a Christmas tree and presents.
Why It’s Valuable: Supports number recognition, fine motor control, and color awareness while encouraging artistic expression.
Play Extension Idea: Provide glitter crayons to add some extra holiday sparkle!
4. Decorate a Christmas Ball
What It Is: A craft-inspired activity where kids design their own festive ornament with patterns, colors, or stickers.
Why It’s Valuable: Encourages imagination, hand-eye coordination, and precision as kids create unique designs.
Play Extension Idea: Punch holes in the finished ornaments, thread a ribbon, and use them as decorations for a mini tabletop tree or a garland.
