Craft Supplies:
- Penguin Printable – on our landing page
- White Cardstock Paper
- Black Cardstock Paper {2 sheets!}
- Crayons
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Stapler
- Ribbon
- Googly Eyes
- Glue
- Embellishments
Directions:
- First things first – print out the provided penguin printable, on a single sheet of white cardstock paper.
- Decorate the head and two heart shaped “feet” designs in the printable, with some crayons. You will want to leave the rectangle design blank from color but this is a great time to write a message on his “belly.”
- When done coloring, trim out all the elements from the paper.
- Discard excess paper.
- Next grab your first sheet of black cardstock paper and pencil.
- Trace both of your hands on the paper.
- Trim out both designs.
- Now grab the second piece of black cardstock paper. Fold it in half {hamburger style.}
- Open it back up and cut it straight up the center to create TWO equal pieces.
- Pull one half aside for today’s craft and save the other for a rainy day.
- Now grab the ribbon and cut off TWO long pieces.
- Staple the ribbon and handprint cutouts to each side of the black cardstock sheet.
- Follow that up by gluing on the penguin head on top, his belly in the center and his penguin feet towards the bottom.
- To finish off the paper penguin hug craft, simply add any other embellishments {along with the wiggle eyes and if you choose, an orange beak as well} to bring the penguin to life.
- Then display as is or gift away to spread some cheer this winter season!
