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.
