- Next grab your igloo printout.

- Before you set aside the printable for now, cut out a simple small heart shape for the penguin’s belly, from one of the corners.
- Glue that small cutout to the center of the black handprint cutout.
- To finish off the handprint penguin design, glue on a small orange triangle nose and his googly eyes.
- We are heading towards the final steps! Grab your sheet of light blue cardstock paper, along with the handprint cutout and igloo shape.

- Follow that up with the penguin next to it.
