Today, I have 50 winter activities for homeschooling. Grab more ideas on my page winter season unit study.

Hoping to have a few activities to pull of out my bag when the kids are bored and the days are long and cold, I rounded up some activities to keep us learning.

50 Keep Me Homeschooling Activities During the Long Cold Winter Days

Some of them are easy and don’t take quite as long and others a little more involved.

We always keep back some chalk pastels too and our easy books for doing seasonal pastels.

Whether you want art, some reading or hands-on ideas, you’ll love this roundup of 50 learning activities.
