Bring creativity and fine motor practice together this season with these Winter Directed Drawing Worksheets! These printable winter drawing pages are the perfect mix of art, writing, and handwriting practice for kindergarten and first grade students.

Winter directed drawing sheets that combine literacy and art for lots of fun and learning.

Each worksheet gives students step-by-step drawing guidance for a cozy winter object, plus space for writing, making it an excellent way to combine art and literacy in one fun activity.

What’s Included

The Winter Directed Drawing Worksheets set includes five different winter-themed drawing pages:

  • Snowman
  • Snowglobe
  • Snowflake
  • Scarf
  • Hot Chocolate

Each sheet comes in two versions:

  1. A trace-and-write version, where students trace the beginning of a sentence about their drawing and then complete it with a word of their choosing.
  2. A blank writing line version, where students can write independently write a sentence about their drawing.

That means every student can work at their own level, whether they’re just beginning to form letters or ready to write a complete sentence.

Perfect for Winter Fine Motor and Writing Practice

Directed drawings are a fantastic way to strengthen early learning skills. As students follow simple visual steps to complete each picture, they develop:

  • Fine motor control and hand-eye coordination
  • Spatial awareness
  • Visual sequencing skills
  • Confidence in creative expression

Once the drawing is complete, students practice handwriting, vocabulary, and early sentence skills by tracing or writing about what they drew. It’s a well-rounded winter activity that supports both art and literacy development!

Easy Prep Winter Activity

Teachers will love how simple this winter printable set is to use!

To prepare:

  1. Print the desired pages for your students. (You can mix versions for different levels.)
  2. Provide pencils, crayons, or markers for drawing and writing.
  3. Optional: Place the pages in write-and-wipe pockets for reusable drawing fun.

That’s it! No cutting, gluing, or special materials needed, print and go.

This makes it an ideal option for morning work, early finishers, art centers, or even a quiet indoor activity on a snowy day.

Easy Ways to Differentiate

This activity works beautifully across multiple skill levels. You can easily differentiate by offering:

  • Trace-and-write pages for emerging writers still practicing letter formation.
  • Blank line pages for students ready to write independently.
  • Sentence starters (written on the board) for students who need light support, such as:
    • “I see a…”
    • “It is a…”
    • “My snow globe has…”

You can also let students choose which winter picture they want to draw, encouraging independence and creativity.

For extra fun, bind the completed pages into a class “Winter Drawing Book.” Students will love flipping through everyone’s artwork and writing!
