This set of printable Winter Picture-Word Cards has 17 word cards, including snow, snowman, snowflake, coat, jacket, sweater, mittens, gloves, hat, scarf, sled, ice skates, ski, iceberg, polar bear, penguin, cold. These cards are great for a writing center during a Winter theme unit.
Find more picture-word cards on the Picture-Word Cards page.
How to use the word cards:
Here are a few ways you can use these picture-word cards and display them in your classroom.
You can make picture dictionaries by punching a hole in the top left corner (punch hole dot provided). Hook them together with a metal binder ring. The word rings can be hung on a hook (for example, the Scotch 3M removable hooks).
Use these cards in a pocket chart in your writing center, on a word wall, or make a picture dictionary. You can also use the cards in Pre-K “Writer’s Workshop”. Place these cards on a table with some paper and markers. Offer it as an option for those children who are ready to copy words on their paper. Many children will be interested in trying it out.
You might also want to put them in the pocket chart during the theme unit, then later hook them on a picture dictionary ring to add to a collection of thematic words through the year.
You can use these cards to practice clapping or stomping the syllables in the words.
Use the blank set to write words in other languages or other writing styles (e.g. D’Nealian), or use them for modeled writing activities.
Word cards for word walls or picture dictionaries have been the most popular request for this website. This is the first set of printable word cards, and there will be many more to come.

I have missed the other words in the set. Please send. Thank you. Susan
Susan: All of the Winter words are in the PDF file at the link on this post. Were there words you would like for me to add to the file? If so, just let me know.
Hi Karen,
How about adding rain, raincoat, umbrella? I know that these might also be spring words, but in California, we get a lot of rain – mostly in the winter and so our kids associate this weather with winter. Thanks for anything you can do. I’m appreciative of what you’ve shared.
Hi Marybeth,
Thanks for the suggestion. I will eventually make a set of weather cards & those will be in that set. It will take me some time to makes sets of cards for every theme, but I’ll put weather near the top of the list.
Thanks so much for sharing your games and ideas. I especially like the grid games and science ideas. Do you have anything for Pancake Day?
Also was wondering about President’s Day? I work in a kindergarten class in NC. Do you take donations for sharing your ideas?
Denise
Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying the site! I’m sorry I don’t have anything for pancake day. As far as President’s Day goes, the only thing I have is a unit I wrote for Itty Bitty Bookworm. It is available for purchase on their site (I won’t receive any $ as I was already paid for writing it).
I appreciate the thought, but it isn’t necessary to donate. If you ever order anything from Amazon.com, I would appreciate it if you’d use the Amazon button on this page. I will receive a portion of the sale, but you will also receive your item without paying any extra. Thanks!
LOVE this! Thank you so much! I look forward to the other sets!
Love the winter cards, can you add snow boots and snowpants and did I see skis? Weather words would be great! Spring words: rain, puddle, umbrella, worm, bud, mud, rain jacket, boots, seed, butterfly, flower….etc
Thanks so very much!
I am so thankful for these word cards. I would love for these same cards to be available in Spanish. I make my word cards with Spanish on one side and English on the other (Spanish in blue). Would it be possible to have them in Spanish or the possibility of being able to print the Spanish inside the box?
I also would like boots, snowpants, shovel and ice or icicle. Thanks!
Lots of people ask for Spanish materials. I just need Spanish translators (and the time to add it to the site)! 🙂
Thank you SOO much for sharing these fabulous winter word/picture cards. The pictures you used are fantastic and I love the font you typed the words in. I can’t wait to see more cards for the other seasons!!!
Karen,
I teach a classroom full of two year olds. Are many of these activities geared as such. I was looking over the winter theme and I feel that my children would enjoy the sorting pages, not sure how well they will do with matching just yet, maybe different levels in each child. I know that they are beginning to love circle time and reading and some have longer attention spans than others. What would you suggest as an afternoon curriculum for twos. They already do alphabet in the morning and a craft at least once a week. When I come on at 2 we have snack, activity, gym, and then we are in the room till 5:30. I think our main problem is our toys bore them after a while but they can sit and do Mr. Potato Head for thirty minutes, or they like it when we get out cars and little people, and kitchen and dishes. Thanks for your help.
Hi Stacey, I teach 4-5 year olds and have no experience with a class of 2’s. I would recommend that you visit http://www.teaching2and3yearolds.com.
First year teaching Kindergarten – I LOVE THIS SITE. The picture word cards are FANTASTIC!
THANK YOU! ~ Jessica
Thank you very much for sharing the printables. They are a great help!!
LOVE these winter word cards! I immediately printed them out and will add them to my writing center on Monday. Thank you so much! Just one suggestion for future card sets–can you make a “title” card to also print out?
Thanks again!
