Winter Themed Kids Activities: Arctic/Antarctic

Looking for more Winter Themed Kids Activities?

Winter is here in full force and we have been learning all about Arctic/Antarctic animals! The kids are having a blast and have been planning a pretend trip to the North and South Poles. They were amazed at the different animals and how they live in different areas of the world.

Charlee was amazed that a polar bear is not actually white. Their fur is actually transparent but appears white because it reflects visible light. So essentially their fur is see-through. Now let’s go one step further. Their skin is black!! I had no idea until we started in on our winter theme this year. You learn something new every day is what I always say!!

I started searching around the internet and found some pretty awesome Artic/Antarctic Kids Activities to share with you today. They are good for all ages and the kids had a blast! I hope you and your children enjoy them too.
