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!
