I’ll admit, I’m not winter’s biggest fan.  I did love delays and snow days as a teacher, but they lost their allure after having kids and being stuck indoors with them for days in a row.

Still, I’m not a total Grinch.  I do enjoy a good fluffy snow and a nice fire in the house.  Hot cocoa ranks pretty high on my list also!

Winter crafts just happen to be another favorite of mine and the crafts I included in this free winter themed preschool lesson plan are some of the cutest!

If you haven’t been following along, be sure to check out my 10 days of Free Preschool Lesson Plans series!  I’ve linked up with a bunch of other bloggers to offer free resources for homeschooling Mamas and teachers!  We also have an amazing giveaway we are running with the series.  You can check that out at the bottom of the post.

All the lessons and ideas listed in my plans are linked inside this post.  You can also find them on my Preschool Science Pinterest board.

Preschool Books about Winter

I love the selection of books for this lesson!  The Snowy Day and Owl Moon are two of my favorite books!  I often do a winter unit exploring Ezra Jack Keats books also!  He is one of my favorite children’s book authors!

As always, don’t forget to check out Amazon where you can save lots of money on second hand books.
