This weekend we raided the craft cupboard for supplies and made this super easy - and very cute - penguin! We had just read Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers (another blog post coming later this week) and wanted to accompany our reading with some creative work.
Would you like to make one too?
Here are the supplies you will need:
- black card stock (we just freehand cut a penguin shape)
- white paper doily
- orange card stock hearts (we used a craft stamp/cutter)
- orange card stock triangle for beak
- red card stock hat (we freehand cut)
- sequin (we used a green flower shape)
- craft ribbon bow (if you do not have, just tie a bow with ribbon)
- Glue - white PVA or craft glue
- Googly eyes
How to make a cute craft penguin:
1. Cut the penguin shape from black card and glue paper doily into position.
2. Glue the hat onto the top of the penguin.
3. Glue the googly eyes onto the head.
4. Glue the beak onto the head and overlapping the white doily tummy. Glue the heart shaped feet onto the bottom.
5. Attach a ribbon bow!
We do hope you love getting crafty and having fun with your own penguin shapes! We will see you again later this week for a post about one of our new favorite penguin books!
