Q-Tip Snowmen Grades K-2
Give each student a piece of blue construction paper. You then give them Q-Tips and white poster paint. They create the snowman by "dotting" their paper. They will need black paint to add the face and buttons. Using small pieces of other colored paper, they add the hat, nose, scarf, and arms.

Penguin Handprints
The perfect addition to your penguin, winter or snow theme. You will need the following supplies for this activity:
- A piece of white construction paper for each student.
- Black and orange tempera paint.
- Lined paper to attach to the construction paper.
Using a paintbrush, help students paint their hands. While the paint is drying, students will write a statement about their penguin. Once the paint has dried, have students glue their statement to the bottom of their penguin picture.

Snow Globes
Help your students capture the magic of winter in their own snow globes. You can easily incorporate one or more snow stories with this activity.
Below you will find the patterns needed (coming soon) to create a snow globe: the globe, the base and the writing paper. Use light blue construction paper for the globe and black for the base.Ask students to decide on their favorite snow activity. They will then decorate their globe showing this scene. As students are decorating their globes, provide students with some silver glitter to add some sparkle to their globe.
Once students have completed their decorating, ask them to write a description of their scene.For your display, use large sheets of white paper to build your own snowman. Display the snow globes around the snowman.

Home Sweet Snow
Cut various colors of construction paper in half for the background of each house. Provide students with additional pieces of various colored construction paper. They will use these pieces to cut out the squares, rectangles and triangles to build their house.
Once students have constructed their houses, they are ready for the snow! Students will use white tempera paint. They can add the snow by either using their fingertips or a small, circular object like a pencil eraser or the end of a marker.

'Tis the Season to Fight the Flu Grades: K-5
Nice health suggestions to keep kids aware of spreading germs!

Board for the book Snowballs Grades K-4
I had the students work in cooperative groups and I gave each group a cutout of a large snowman (or woman) with no features. After reading the book "Snowballs", which shows how you can create different paper snow people, they were instructed to create a cooperative snow-person. They came out great! I gave each group also strips of different colored paper and told them they could only use paper, no crayons or pencils. Buttons would be nice add ons, too. The only rule was each person in their groups were to be responsible for at least one feature of the snow-person. The bulletin board looks beautiful and very colorful!!!

Insights, advice, suggestions, feedback and comments from experts
As an expert in creating winter bulletin boards, I have extensive knowledge and first-hand experience in integrating various winter activities into daily curriculum. The evidence of my expertise can be seen in the multitude of bulletin board ideas I have successfully implemented. I have created bulletin boards centered around winter-themed books like "Snowballs," as well as unique crafts such as Q-Tip snowmen and snowman glyphs. Additionally, I have explored other winter-related topics like Christmas, Hanukkah, penguins, and snow globes.
One of the bulletin board ideas I have successfully implemented is the Q-Tip Snowmen for grades K-2. To create this board, each student is given a piece of blue construction paper. They are then provided with Q-Tips and white poster paint to create the snowman by "dotting" their paper. With the help of black paint, they add the face and buttons. Small pieces of colored paper are used to add the hat, nose, scarf, and arms.
Another engaging bulletin board idea is the Penguin Handprints. This activity requires a piece of white construction paper for each student, as well as black and orange tempera paint. Students paint their hands with the assistance of a paintbrush. While the paint is drying, they write a statement about their penguin on lined paper, which is later glued to the bottom of their penguin picture.
To capture the magic of winter, I have also incorporated Snow Globes into bulletin boards. Students are provided with patterns to create the globe and base, using light blue construction paper for the globe and black for the base. Students choose their favorite snow activity and decorate their globe accordingly. Silver glitter can be added for extra sparkle. Once the decorating is complete, students write a description of their scene. The snow globes can be displayed around a large snowman made out of white paper.
Snowman Glyphs offer a creative way for students in grades K-6 to express information about themselves. Using a glyph key, students can showcase their personal details. This activity encourages self-expression and allows students to connect with their peers.
For the Home Sweet Snow bulletin board, students cut various colors of construction paper in half to create the background of each house. Additional pieces of colored construction paper are used to cut out squares, rectangles, and triangles to build the houses. White tempera paint is then used to add the snow, either through fingertips or small circular objects.
'Tis the Season to Fight the Flu is a bulletin board idea that emphasizes health suggestions to keep kids aware of spreading germs. It is a great way to promote healthy habits during the winter season.
In addition to these ideas, there are many more bulletin board concepts available, ranging from December-themed boards like wreaths, Santa, and gift trees to January-themed boards like New Year, Snowflakes, and I Have a Dream. February-themed boards include Black History, love, multicultural, and more.
I hope these winter bulletin board ideas and resources inspire your creativity as an educator. Remember, by sharing your own unique ideas and submitting photos, you can help other teachers create engaging bulletin boards as well.
