Penguin Activities and Crafts for Kids

Free penguin activities for kids: a stand-up paper penguin craft, label the penguin, a maze with answer key, a fact file and 2 coloring pages.

Make a Stand-Up Paper Penguin page with seven easy steps and a drawing of the finished tube penguin

Penguins waddle, slide and swim, and kids love them. This free pack mixes a real paper craft that stands up on the table with a little learning about these funny birds that cannot fly.

What’s inside

  • Stand-up paper penguin: seven easy steps, then a page of pieces to color and cut (the body strip, belly, face, flippers, feet, beak, eyes and a scarf). Roll the strip into a tube and your penguin stands up
  • Label the penguin: write head, eye, beak, flipper, belly and feet from the word bank
  • Penguin maze: help the penguin find the fish, with an answer key at the end
  • Penguin fact file: six true facts, a line for a favorite fact and a box to draw a penguin family
  • Two coloring pages: a happy penguin and a penguin dressed for winter in a hat and scarf

Tips

  • Print the craft pages on card stock so the penguin stands up well.
  • A toilet paper tube works too: glue the pieces straight onto it.
  • Make a whole penguin family in different sizes and line them up on a shelf.

Who it is for

Made for kids about 4 to 9, at home, in preschool or in an elementary classroom winter unit. Black line art that prints well on any printer. Print at 100% on US Letter paper (A4 works with “Fit to page”).
