Paper Penguin Craft Idea With Cotton Balls
Not too long ago, my son’s preschool class did a classroom unit on penguins. After learning how much fun my lil man had in class during that week, I decided to continue the fun at home by creating this Cotton Ball Penguin kid craft for him.
With just me helping with the glue, my son was able to create this adorable penguin piece in no time. Now it’s displayed proudly on our fridge and I want YOU & your child to add one to your fridge too!!
To help you along the way, not only am I sharing this easy step-by-step penguin art project tutorial, but I’m also sharing the printable template that goes along with this craft for FREE. All you need to do is download the file below, print it and glue some cotton balls on the penguin’s belly. It’s super easy, especially since I laid the framework out for you with the printable!
So what are you waiting for? Waddle on over to your craft supplies and gather everything you need to make this simple & inexpensive kid craft. I bet your child is going to love it!
Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to snap a few pictures to share, if you decide to recreate our penguin with white cotton balls on paper craft! You can always find us on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see! #gluedtomycrafts
