Fun Winter Homeschooling - Nature Homeschool

Winter Homeschooling is all about getting cozy

I personally love winter and this time of the year. As Canadians living in the mountains we embrace the cold, darker days and with that adding fun and light into our lives. One way to enjoy the season with homeschooling is to slow down. The day length is shorter so we rest more and do less.

For cozy winter homeschooling I love creating a warm atmosphere with:

Candles or fairy lights around the house
Snuggling up by the fire for and reading picture books
Enjoy hot drinks such as tea or cocoa
Playing in the snow to burn off that winter restless energy
Cooking or baking together as a family
If you have snow enjoy sledding, skiing or nature snow play
Learn more about frosts and snow
Read picture books about winter

I also love adding some winter inspired creative writing this time of the year

Even if kids don’t know how to write yet, most of them are wonderful story tellers.

Enjoy the winter season, forest animals and tomtens with creative writing.

This winter homeschooling pack has a Scandanavian winter feel to it.

I created this printable creative writing package for kids ages 6-10. This can be adaptable to other ages however. Younger kids can look at the photos for writing prompts. Your kids can also dictate the story for you to write down or for them to copy sentences. There are 2 pages of beautiful watercolor images to cut out and create their own creative pages.
