January holidays and coloring ideas
- New Year's Day (January 1): Color a snowflake mandala while writing three wishes for the year on the back.
- National Hot Tea Month (all month): Pair the mittens-and-cocoa page with a warm drink and a read-aloud.
- National Bird Day (January 5): Color the snowy owl page, then hang a simple bird feeder and count winter visitors.
- Snow days (whenever they come): Keep a stack of winter pages and a word search ready for indoor recess.
January in the classroom
January is a good month to restart routines after the break: a calm coloring page during morning arrival settles a class quickly.
Snowflakes are a natural link to symmetry. Color a snowflake mandala, then fold and cut paper snowflakes and compare the six-fold patterns.
