The stores are slowly {but surely} filling up with Valentine’s Day merchandise. If you happen to come across those pretty paper doilies – be sure to pick up a pack {or two} for your craft stash. I have several different kid friendly ideas coming up on the blog and you don’t want to miss out because you don’t have the right materials.

I’m starting the doily crafting madness today with this Valentine Penguin Puppet {Kid Craft} As always – it’s super easy to pull together and fun for ALL ages. This penguin is wearing his black suit & tie for you, so what are you waiting for? Pull out those supplies and get to work!

Supplies:

* White Paper Bag
* Two Paper Doilies {medium sized/white}
* Black Paint
* Paint Brush
* Scissors
* Orange Cardstock
* Black Cardstock
* Glue Stick
* Stapler

Directions:

* First have your child paint their paper bag completely black. Set aside to let it dry.
* Next have your child cut one paper doily in half. Reserve the top half for the penguin’s face. Don’t forget to also cut out arms for the penguin from the black cardstock, as well as a nose from the orange cardstock.
* Once the paper bag is dry, it’s time to assemble the penguin. Glue the doilies to the front of the paper bag, just like in the above picture. Then staple the arms on, as well as gluing the nose & painting some eyes on. Then display proudly!
