Winter Art Appreciation – Meditation and Puzzles in Print or Cursive

November 10, 2023 By Deb Chitwood Leave a Comment

We already have spring art appreciation meditation and puzzles in print or cursive, summer art appreciation meditation and puzzles in print or cursive, and autumn art appreciation meditation and puzzles in print or cursive. Now we’re including winter art appreciation meditation and puzzles!

Our winter art appreciation pack in print or cursive has art prints for meditation-style activities along with art prints made into easy-cut puzzles. It’s adaptable for ages 3-9!

Montessori-Inspired Printables at Living Montessori Now

My daughter, Chrissy (a former Montessori child), and I have partnered to bring you a series of Montessori-inspired printables. The printables are typically themed and use a number of Montessori principles (although you don’t need to be a Montessori teacher or homeschooler to use them):

  • They use isolation of quality.
  • They use photographs or realistic images to emphasize reality.
  • They typically use traditional Montessori colors such as red for consonants and blue for vowels.
  • They emphasize lowercase letters, which are what we introduce letter sounds with in Montessori education. (Children tend to pick up the uppercase letters without being introduced if they’re introduced to the lowercase letter sounds.)
  • They often feature themed printable versions of Montessori materials.

Winter Art Appreciation Meditation and Puzzles in Print or Cursive

Combine art appreciation with mindfulness for ages 3-9! This 63-page printable pack in print or cursive has 30 winter artworks chosen for calming activities. The first 30 pages of art prints can be used for meditation activities. Each of the easy-cut puzzles in pages 34-63 can be used in any of four levels: 

  • A cut-out puzzle with a copy of the uncut puzzle beneath 
  • A cut-out puzzle with a copy of the original art print beneath 
  • A cut-out puzzle with a copy of the original art print on the side 
  • A cut-out puzzle alone

Printable Directions

 Winter Art Appreciation Art Prints for Meditation (Ideas) – pages 4-33

  • Children (or adults) can study an art print and then close their eyes and think about the image or imagine they’re in the image.
  • With eyes open, children (or adults) can study the details in an art print while taking deep breaths.

Winter Art Appreciation Art Print Puzzles – pages 34-63

The uncut puzzles or the original art prints from pages 4-33 can be used as base images (under the puzzles) for the puzzles for younger children or as introductory puzzles at any age. Advanced puzzles can have the art print on the side or the puzzle image alone.
