- Go ahead and find it on your computer, right click and print it out on a single sheet of white cardstock. You only need ONE printable to make ONE chalk art penguin craft. Print as many as you like but only use our file for personal use please.
- Now that you have the printable, go ahead and color in the various shapes on it. The nose and feet will be orange, while the wings will be black. The eyes will stay blank in color.
- When done coloring, trim out each paper piece and set them aside till later.
- Discard excess paper.
- Now grab a single sheet of black cardstock and your white piece of chalk.
- Go ahead and draw/color in the penguin’s BELLY in the center of the paper with the white chalk {see our image for example} Add as much chalk as you like. You want it to be nice and “fluffy” though.
- Use baby wipes to clean off excess chalk from fingers and hands.
- When done with the chalk, go ahead and grab your penguin cutouts from earlier & your glue stick.
- Glue all the pieces in their designated spots, on chalk art design you just made.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit.

Customize It:
- Is your white chalk not “popping” from the black paper like you want it to? No worries! If you run into this problem, you can set a small dish with tap water on the table, dip the chalk in it for a few seconds and then draw on the paper the same way as before. Repeat, over and over, again and let the construction paper dry completely before adhering the paper pieces.
- What if you don’t have a printer to take advantage of today’s freebie? No worries! You can always hand-draw something on paper and go from there. This will really open up those creative juices and I highly encourage it!
