Free Printable Winter Word Search

This free printable winter word search is the perfect low-prep activity for a snow day!

Word searches are fun, educational, and super easy for you as a parent or teacher. This winter word search features winter themed words, not Christmas words, and is suitable for any of the colder months of the year.

This word search for winter has two versions – one that’s cute and color and a second, ink-saving black and white word search with winter coloring page elements.

And, finally, there is an answer key included so you can use this word puzzle with your kids even if you personally stink at word searches.

Tips for using printables

I’m a busy mom and former classroom teacher so I’m all about saving myself time.

That’s why I love laminating printables or putting them in dry erase pockets!

Working the same word search multiple times might seem strange to you as an adult, but children learn through repetition and typically enjoy working on things several times.

When you laminate your printables, or put them in a dry erase pocket, you can use the same sheet over and over again. Even if your child doesn’t want to work the puzzle again 10 minutes later, it leaves the option open for another day or even next year.

I love having an inexpensive laminating machine. Dry erase pockets, which are basically heavy duty page protectors, work well, too (as long as your child doesn’t pull the page out and write on it anyway!).
