- When done, help them trim out their decorated penguin shape and set it aside till you are ready for it.
- Next up, grab ONE large paper plate per chick craft. Go ahead and cut it in half, to resemble a cracked egg.

- Follow that up by stapling in the paper penguin, to the back of the paper plate pieces. Your new friend should look like it’s peeking out of the cracked egg now.
