    These winter journal prompts are fun for adults, teens, and kids! Use them as part of your own self-care routine or as a classroom writing prompt for kids.

    A preview of four winter themed journal pages with a "planner girl" theme.

    Winter is the perfect time for getting cozy with a mug of tea and a journal. These fun winter journal prompts will get your creative juices flowing and help bring a smile to your face on long winter evenings.

    Make sure to keep scrolling past the list of prompts in the post to download your freebie with cute winter-themed journal pages. The winter journal pages also make cute note paper!

    The free printable journal page have a bullet journal style.

    Some pages have a grid dot, others have lines, and others have space for freeform doodling or writing. Several pages have "planner girl" style clipart, so I've included different hair and skin tones so you can select the pages that you prefer.

    Sometimes people worry that using a journal prompt is somehow "cheating" or "not really journaling." This isn't true.

    Artists use reference objects and figure models when they paint, sculpt, and draw. Musicians use tuning aides for their instruments. Authors use writing prompts to practice writing and get their creativity flowing.

    It is completely okay to use a writing prompt for your daily journaling practice!

    It's also okay to use a writing prompt some days, but write about whatever is on your heart and mind on other days. Or use a writing prompt to get started, then continue writing on a different topic. It's your journal and you're journaling practice!

    Journaling prompts for winter

    A nice notebook makes so much of a difference when you're journaling. This is especially true when you're journaling for in the winter when everything is so bleak outside!

    You can journal on any scrap of paper, but having a pretty notebook that lies open and contains thick, high-quality paper so your writing doesn't feather, bleed, and show through makes the experience much more comforting and cozy.

    If you decide to print and use the journal pages, recommend using 32 lb bright white paper. It's smooth to the touch and a joy to write on, plus your pens and markers don't feather and bleed on it like they do on "regular" printer paper.

    For a comparison of various papers, with a video flip through of print outs, check out this post with the best paper for planner printables.

    You don't have to use the printable journal pages with these writing prompts. You can also use them in a notebook that increases your feelings of comfort during this winter season.

    Bound bullet journal notebooks are popular for journaling, but I'm personally a big fan of spiral bound journals because they lie flat.

    This makes the easy to write in without cracking the spine or spending half your time worrying about holding the opposite page out of the way while you write.
