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.

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.
