Have a Blast with This Awesome Winter-Themed Activity

As we approach the official start of the winter, my five boys and I have been eagerly planning our seasonal celebrations.

We use our free Calendar of Fun Holidays for Kids to Celebrate as part of our homeschool morning time, and I keep future monthly calendars in my homeschool planner so the boys can look ahead and get excited about what's to come!

December always brings shrieks of delight. We LOVE working Christmas fun and winter homeschool fun activities into our days. Recently, my boys have become obsessed with word puzzles, and I couldn't be happier about the positive effects on their learning!

That's why I created this winter word find - it's a fantastic way to boost free time and keep kids off screens while developing important skills.

As children search for words, they naturally develop word recognition skills and improve their spelling abilities. The focused concentration required helps build attention span, while the satisfaction of finding each word builds confidence.

It's the perfect indoor activity for those chilly winter days when kids need something engaging and educational to do!

Creating the Perfect Winter Activity Experience

Set a Cozy Atmosphere

Transform an ordinary activity into a magical winter moment by creating the perfect environment. Start by playing from this delightful playlist of winter songs to set the mood.

Serve warm hot cocoa or another seasonal treat while they work, and make sure to set up in a comfortable spot with plenty of natural light.

These simple touches can make the activity feel special and memorable.

Make It Special with Fun Supplies

Turn this winter word search into something extraordinary with special writing tools. Watch their eyes light up when you offer glittery gel pens that make each found word sparkle, or let them choose from colorful markers and sparkly highlighters.

These small changes can transform a simple activity into something they'll be excited to complete.

Game Time!

Keep the enthusiasm high by trying these fun challenges:

• Set a timer to find as many words as possible in 5 minutes
• Create friendly competitions between siblings or classmates
• Challenge kids to beat their previous completion time
• Practice spelling each word out loud as it's found
