Winter Animal Writing Frames – Independent Writing Activity (A4) | Early Years / PS1
This flexible, hands-on literacy resource is perfect for Early Years and PS1 learners, whether you’re in a classroom, home setting, or childminding environment. Designed to support independent writing through a fun, winter-themed approach, it links beautifully with the Welsh Curriculum.
You’ll get:
Six A4 writing frames, each featuring a different winter animal illustration with lined space underneath for writing.
Frames encourage children to practise letter formation, sentence writing, and storytelling while engaging with seasonal themes.
Children can use the frames to have a go at independent writing, drawing, or labelling, developing fine motor skills, creativity, and early literacy. Ideal for table-top activities, small group sessions, or continuous provision, and suitable for different abilities and stages.
Links beautifully with AoLEs:
Language, Literacy & Communication
Health and Wellbeing
Expressive Arts
