Steps To Make Paper Penguin Craft
Step 1
Print and cut our template to cut out the penguin’s feet and orange beak on orange paper, the body and the wings on black paper, and the belly using the paper from the template or white construction paper.
Step 2
Glue everything together and position the wings around in any way you want. This one is waving! To give the beak a 3D shape, you have to fold the beacon in half before you glue it on. Don’t forget to add the penguin’s eyes with googly eyes.
Step 3
Glue the entire penguin on your favorite colored paper – we used blue because we feel like it’s perfect for winter crafts.
And your penguin paper craft is all done!
