Does your child love making up stories?
If so, this free winter creative writing printable is a wonderful way to encourage their imagination!
There’s something so magical about seeing the world through a child’s eyes.
Sometimes the stories they come up with are hilarious, sometimes they’re sweet, and sometimes they surprise us with just how creative their little minds can be.
This simple winter writing activity gives kids a chance to dream up their very own snowy adventure.
Create Your Own Winter Story
This free printable includes a large space for drawing and several lines underneath for writing a story.
Kids can imagine anything they want!
Maybe their story is about a snowman who comes to life, a penguin who gets lost in the woods, or a magical winter wonderland filled with talking animals.
The possibilities are endless!
Winter Story Ideas for Kids
If your child needs help getting started, try one of these prompts:
- One morning, I woke up and discovered everything outside was made of snow…
- I built a snowman, but something magical happened when I gave him a hat…
- A tiny penguin appeared at my front door…
- The most amazing snow day ever started when…
Encourage your child to draw a picture of their story before writing.
For younger children, you can have them tell you their story while you write down their words.
Why Creative Writing Is Important
Creative writing helps children develop imagination, storytelling abilities, vocabulary, and confidence.
And when kids are allowed to write about something fun, they’re often much more excited about practicing their writing skills.
