10 Winter Facts for Kids

Engage kids in Winter fun with these winter facts for kids printables. Kindergartners are expected to make and share observations about the weather, recognizing changes in weather patterns over time, and distinguishing differences in the four seasons.  Or, perhaps you are studying Penguin Facts for Kids and want to learn more about the cold temperatures they are living in.

This kindergarten and first grade science standard can be met through morning calendar time, outdoor explorations, informational texts, and writing opportunities, such as Building Sentences: Winter Facts for Kids. 

Winter facts for kids

Facts about the Earth's axis during Winter are important, but are beyond a 5-7 year old's conceptual understanding.  This printable chart, included in my Building Sentences No-Prep Writing Center, is a fun way to teach Winter lessons to children.  The Winter facts are kid-friendly, and the sight word sentences use age-appropriate vocabulary. 

Building Sentences: Winter Facts is no-prep, interactive, writing center perfect for Winter time. Students cut and paste word tiles to build the 10 facts about Winter; one sentence on each page. Did you know nights are longer in the Winter? This is a great opportunity to expand the lessons, such as day and night, a kindergarten science lesson.
