Activities to Do With Winter Coloring Pages
Coloring is just the beginning. Once the pages are printed and colored, try these creative activities to keep the winter fun going.
Create Festive Greeting Cards
Print the coloring pages at half size or fold a full sheet in quarters. Have your kids color the front image, like a snowman or a festive tree, and write a personal message inside. These make adorable, handmade cards for grandparents, teachers, or neighbors during the holiday season.
DIY Winter Wrapping Paper
Why buy expensive wrapping paper when you can make your own? Print out several of the pattern-based pages, such as the snowflake designs or the winter clothes outlines. Tape them together to create large sheets and use them to wrap small gifts. It adds a personal touch that recipients will love.
Cotton Ball Snow Art
Add some texture to your art. After coloring the main parts of a winter scene, give your child some glue and cotton balls. They can fluff up the cotton and glue it onto the snowmen, clouds, or ground to create a 3D snowy effect that looks and feels real.
Winter Storytelling Prompts
Use the detailed scenes, like the “Winter Wonderland” or “Paw Patrol Rescue,” as writing prompts. Ask your child to color the page and then write a short story explaining what is happening in the picture. For younger kids, you can act as the scribe while they narrate their winter adventure.
Window Suncatchers
Turn your coloring pages into window art. Color the pages using markers for vibrant colors, then lightly brush the back of the paper with a little vegetable oil using a cotton ball. The oil makes the paper translucent. Tape them to a sunny window and watch the winter sun illuminate the artwork.
Winter Scavenger Hunt
Print out several pages featuring different items like mittens, a snowman, a pine tree, and a sled. Hide the uncolored pages around the house. Give your kids a checklist and have them find each page. Once they find one, they have to color it before moving on to the next clue.
Cut-Out Paper Dolls
For pages featuring characters or animals, have your kids color them in and then carefully cut them out. You can glue them onto popsicle sticks to create puppets. Use a cardboard box to make a “winter stage” and put on a puppet show for the family.

Absolutely. While many pages are designed for kids, we have included intricate designs like zentangle snowflakes and mandalas specifically for adults looking to de-stress and relax.
What Markers Are Best For Coloring?
Washable markers are great for younger children to avoid messes. For older kids and adults, alcohol-based markers or gel pens can provide vibrant, smooth colors for more detailed work.
How Can I Use These For Educational Purposes?
You can use these pages to teach fine motor skills, color recognition, and storytelling. For older children, pair the coloring activity with a lesson about winter weather, hibernation, or holiday traditions around the world.
