Winter Full Moons Study Pack | Stories, Crafts & Activities | Seasonal Curriculum | Folklore and Festivals Around The World
Step into the quiet magic of winter with the Winter Moons Pack. A cross-curricular December to February resource for families who love learning through nature, stories, and creativity. This beautifully designed 92 page pack guides you through the Cold Moon, Wolf Moon, and Snow Moon, weaving together folklore, cultural festivals, art, poetry, and simple crafts and activities. Whether you're diving into a moon study project or following a nature curriculum, this pack offers a rich, reflective way to connect with the season.
This pack is designed to be flexible, creative, and family-friendly. There’s no set order and no need to do everything inside. Simply dip in and out, choosing what fits your mood, time, and family rhythm. Revisit and adapt it each year. Remember, you only need to print the pages you’ll use.
For all ages
The stories, crafts, and activities are written with all ages in mind. Younger children might enjoy the simpler crafts, poems, and drawing pages, while older children and teens can explore the folklore, traditions, and reflection questions in more depth. Many activities can be easily adapted. A younger child might draw their winter wish instead of writing it, while a teenager might research the origins of one of the myths or customs mentioned.
