Winter Craft: Handprint Penguin

January 4, 2022

What you'll need to make the penguin:

  • Construction paper (colors needed: black, white, orange and blue)
  • Googly eyes
  • Scissors (adult supervision may be needed while cutting paper)
  • White chalk  
  • Glue stick
  • Pencil or pen
  • Optional: pom poms, sequins

Directions:



  • Use blue construction paper as your background. On white construction paper, cut a wave pattern (you want it to look like a snowy hill). Glue it onto the blue construction paper. 
  • On black construction paper, spread fingers apart and trace both hands with a pencil or chalk. Round out the bottom of the handprint. Cut out the handprints to develop the penguin's head and begin building your penguin from there. 
  • To make the penguin's belly, use the bottom of a coffee cup and trace a circle on white construction paper, cut it out. 
  • For the beak, cut a triangle out of the orange construction paper. 
  • Now, assemble your penguin! Glue the googly eyes, beak and belly onto the handprint.
  • Last but not least, make old-fashioned snowflakes using white construction paper and scissors. Glue the snowflakes to the blue background. If you're feeling fancy, add sequins or pom-poms. 
  • Finally, with a pen or pencil, make sure the artist signs his or her name on the back of the masterpiece!
