Fensterbilder Grundschule Winter: Bringing Winter Magic to Your Classroom
Welcome, young artists! Are you ready to transform your classroom into a winter wonderland? Today, we’re going to explore the magic of "Fensterbilder" – beautiful winter scenes that you can create and display on your classroom windows.
What are Fensterbilder?
Fensterbilder are basically window pictures. They are often made with simple materials like paper, glue, and glitter, and they can be as simple or as elaborate as you like. Imagine snowflakes sparkling on your window, a snowman grinning at you, or a cozy winter village nestled in the snow.
Why are Fensterbilder so special?
Fensterbilder are more than just pretty decorations. They offer a fantastic way to:
- Bring the outdoors in: Even if it’s not snowing outside, you can create a wintery atmosphere in your classroom.
- Spark creativity: Fensterbilder are a great way to encourage children to use their imaginations and experiment with different materials.
- Develop fine motor skills: Cutting, pasting, and decorating all help to improve hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
- Boost confidence: Seeing their creations displayed on the windows gives children a sense of accomplishment and pride.
- Create a sense of community: Working together on a Fensterbild project can foster teamwork and collaboration.
Let’s get started!
Materials you’ll need:
- White paper: You can use regular printer paper or even construction paper.
- Scissors: Make sure they are sharp enough to cut through paper easily.
- Glue: A glue stick or liquid glue will work well.
- Decorative materials: Get creative! You can use glitter, sequins, buttons, yarn, cotton balls, colored paper, markers, crayons, and anything else you can think of.

Step-by-step instructions:
- Choose your design: Think about what you want to create. A simple snowflake, a snowman, a winter scene, or even a winter-themed alphabet.

- Decorate your design: This is where the fun begins! Use your decorative materials to add details, patterns, and textures to your design.
- Attach your design to the window: Use tape to attach your Fensterbild to the window. Make sure it’s secure so it doesn’t fall down.
