Free Easy Winter Crossword Printable for Kids

  • Share

This free printable easy winter crossword puzzle is perfect for younger children. Use it as a fun indoor activity for winter on an unexpectedly cold, wet day or as part of your regularly planned lessons about winter.

This easy crossword puzzle for winter is a picture crossword puzzle. This means the clues are images, not text-based. This makes the puzzle ideal for little learners who are working on their reading, writing, and spelling skills.

The crossword features 10 winter and Arctic-related images to identify and write. The illustrations are lovely digital watercolor artwork. The answer key is included on the second page.

A flatlay of a free printable easy winter crossword with images instead of text-based clues. The page is on a light blue surface with colorful children's markers and snowflake shaped confetti.

This post includes affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission on purchases made through links at no additional cost to you.

Even your littlest learners can enjoy this winter crossword. Have your preschooler identify the image, then write the answer in, yourself, while talking about the letters. 

If you have a little one who’s learning their letters, be sure to snag these free printable alphabet coloring pages while you’re here.

Early elementary students can practice their writing and spelling by filling in the squares on their own. Older children who need even more of a challenge will enjoy this free printable winter word scramble and winter word search. Make sure to stop by and download those freebies for your big kids!

For repeated use, laminate the page or slip it inside a page protector. Working the same crossword multiple times may sound strange to you as an adult, but children enjoy doing the same activity several times.

We use secure page protectors placed in a 1″ three ring binder to make activity pages reusable and easy to manage.

“Secure” page protectors have a short flap you can tuck inside to keep pages from slipping out during use. The ones we use are also a thicker plastic that holds up better to vigorous learning. This is the set we use:

You can see my daughter happily using some Halloween count and graph worksheets in her binder with page protectors:

If you want your pages to be durable and look great, use 32 lb printer paper. It’s heavier than normal printer paper and bright white for vibrant images. It’s also eco-friendly and made without deforestation.
