Handprint Penguins

I think that penguins are just about the cutest creatures on Earth. Except of course my kids;0) Here is a fun penguin to make using your child's hand tracing for wings.

1. Cut out an egg shape for the penguins body, a smaller egg shape for the belly, a beak, and feet.
2. Trace your child's hand.
3. Glue the belly to the center of the body.
4. Add the beak and feet.
5. Glue on some eyes. You can use wiggly eyes or paper reinforcement stickers like I did.
6. Last, you glue the hand tracings on the side of your penguin for the wings.
7. Here is Madelyn's finished penguin. (please excuse the bedhead:0)

    Another cute project. Funny thing is, I grabbed a penguin book from the libray today. Michaela and Adela love penguins. Lindsey just likes animals period.

  2. I do this with chicks for Easter. We use yellow paper and oon't have the belly part obviously. And the feet are shaped differently. Way cute!

  8. Sweet project! My girl can't get enough of having her hands traced, though she wants to cut the handprints out herself...
