So here are the easy instructions to create this cute Winter friend at your house.
Materials-
Black and yellow marker
Glue stick
Yellow puffy paint
Scissors
Directions-
1. Using your black marker, draw a large heart with a round bottom onto the paper plate
2. Cut the sides off your second plate and color these and everything around the heart black
3. Cut two small rectangles off the remaining scrap paper plate and color them yellow
4. Glue your flappers (black paper plate sides) to each side of the Penguins body (heart paper plate)
5. Glue your penguin feet (yellow rectangles) to the bottom of your penguin
6. Now using your yellow puffy paint, paint on a triangle shaped nose inside the white heart
7. To finish your penguin, color on two black eyes with your black marker
Done! So easy and so cute! You could even use this new friend as a puppet if your child like to pretend and make up little plays or skits. Even if you just display this darling craft, it’s been fun time spent together.

As much as my daughter loves crafts this is right up her alley. She is always cutting and making stuff so I will make sure I give her this to make she will love you for it lol

I love penguins and I wish my grand kids were still small. How clever to use puffy paint and I love how creative this projects allows a child to be. Developing motor skills are so important and what a great way to learn and have fun.

what a cute craft for any children to complete. This is such a creative way to use simple things you may already have laying around your home. this would be really easy to tie into a lesson plan ( home educator here)

This is such a great craft to do with the kids this winter. The late fall temps are setting in here as the leaves continue to fall and it is definitely penguin time. I love that this is easy enough to let the kids take the lead, and cute enough to display in the house throughout the wintertime.

What a great craft project for kids! Love this! It is inexpensive and simple enough for preschoolers! My daughter is in the coloring/painting stage so she would love doing this project. Going to pick up some paint to do this with her this weekend! Thanks!

I literally laughed out loud when I read that you are his preferred entertainment. I know that feeling! This si such a great craft. I love the simplicity and ease of access. Thanks for sharing.
Kelly Hutchinson says
This is about the cutest craft I have ever seen! I was so un-creative when my kids were little. I am sure they suffered some trauma from the lack of artistic influence in their young lives lol
Donna Ward says
Wow! Who knew? So creative and looks like a fun craft to have with a group or just one child. I didn’t do crafts and still don’t – my son was an artist and did bring home craft work from school – but none was ever this cool!

Animals always look cute when they’re drawn on a paper plate. Kids are mostly familiar with penguins and it’s nice when they can create more of these crafts with the animals that they know. Where are your markers from? Are they great?
