Easy Things to Draw for Winter
Winter gives kids weeks of drawing ideas, long after the holidays are packed away. Snowmen, mittens, a mug of hot cocoa, and a sled on a hill are all made from circles, ovals, and rectangles. These prompts are cozy rather than festive, so they work for any snowy day from December to March.

What to draw for Winter
Winter pictures are mostly about contrast: a white snowman needs a blue or grey sky behind it, and a warm house looks warmer when the snow outside is cold and blue. Kids can draw the snow line first, then build the scene on top — a snowman made of three different-size circles, a sled on a slope, footprints leading away. Little details like a scarf blowing in the wind or steam curling from a mug make the page feel cold outside and cozy inside.
Winter drawing tips
- 1Color the sky, not the snow. Leave the snow as white paper and color the sky light blue or grey around it so the snow shows up.
- 2Three sizes of circles. A snowman reads best with a big bottom, a smaller middle, and the smallest head.
- 3Show it’s cold. Puffs of breath, rosy cheeks, and steam from a mug instantly tell the viewer it’s freezing outside.
