Build a Winter Wonderland Pop Up Crafts and Writing Activities

Your students will love building a winter wonderland this January with these pop up crafts and writing activities! These engaging activities will allow students to color, cut, and glue pieces to design their very own parts of a winter wonderland!

After printing the different backgrounds and item/object pages on cardstock, students can design the different parts of their winter wonderland. After each place they design, students can use the templates provided in this resource to write an imaginative narrative, informative (how-to), or opinion writing.  Writing templates are included with and without traceable sentence starters.

This resource can also be used as a whole class activity for winter. After completing one activity whole class, students can complete others as a literacy center choice or they can be used as early finisher activities.

There are five winter wonderland places for students to build included in this resource. Students can build a snowy mountain, a cozy cabin, an ice rink, a ski shop, and a hot cocoa stand. Students can design all five or you can give students different parts to design and set up a few winter wonderlands for display this winter.

PLEASE NOTE: The winter wonderland building pieces and backgrounds work best if printed on cardstock or construction paper for stability. Students can cut down any of the pieces needed to assemble to their liking. 

Students will need grade level appropriate fine motor/scissor skills for this activity, but pop up pieces have cut lines for ease of cutting.
