Color by Notes – Winter Edition

This resource is a 13-page printable packet where students color winter-themed images by matching note values to a color key. Each page includes:

• A clear color-by-note legend using common rhythmic values
• A winter illustration (snowman, snowflake, scarf, boots, mittens, hot cocoa, penguin, and more)
• A suggested song to play while students work, making it a complete musical experience rather than a “busy worksheet”

• I Have a Little Snowman
• Little Snowflake
• Hats or A Hat for My Snowman (Music K8)
• The Penguin Polka (Music K8)
• Blowin' in the Wind by Stephanie Leavell
• Mittens and Gloves (Music K8)
• Hot Chocolate by Andy Beck
• Boots by Laurie Berkner
• Skating by Stephanie Leavell
• Here Comes the Snow (Music K8)
• Winter Fun (Music K8)

🧑‍🏫 Sub-Friendly and Teacher-Approved

Clear directions and consistent structure make this an excellent choice for:

• Sub plans
• Independent centers
• Quiet assessment or review days
• Right before a long weekend or winter break

How You Might Use It in Your Classroom

• Grades K–2: Whole-group modeling, then independent coloring with music playing
• Any grade: Pair with rhythm clapping, body percussion, or a short movement break tied to the suggested song
• Because each page stands alone, you can easily differentiate by selecting specific images or note values that match where your students are.

What’s Included in the Packet?

• 13 winter-themed color-by-note pages
• A consistent rhythm-to-color key on each page
• Suggested listening music for every image
• Printable PDF format, ready to use immediately
