Looking for winter writing prompts that are no-prep and actually FUN for students? These 30 winter writing prompts with crafts are the perfect solution for any kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd or even 4th grade students.
What are these Winter Writing Prompts?
These 30 winter writing prompts are PRINTABLE (or digital) no-prep seasonal prompts for your students to use during writing centers in January. The seasonal prompts cover every genre and can be used for either whole group, warm up or independent work.
Students will write about the winter writing prompt, then color and cut out a craft with each activity. These are designed so students can do one winter writing prompt per day, but can be used as needed for your classroom.
No additional materials should be needed to teach the topics – these are student friendly prompts that students will have basic knowledge about already.

There are extra blank writing pages that can be added to project for students who need more space for their writing.
