Penguins and polar animals are a great theme to do during the Winter. We did a week long theme for penguins and another week of just polar animals, which included penguins. Our class had a great time learning about the animals, moving around like polar animals and doing fun crafts. We created a penguin during Speech Group. Each student was given the choice to pick between two or three colors for hats and mittens. Below are the step by step instructions and photos. Materials Needed:
Step 1- Prep materials. Step 2- Students are given two or three choices of hat colors. Mark an 'X' and make a line with crayon on the top part of the hat. This helps students know where they need to glue and place the long rectangle to finish the hat. Step 3- Students are given little squares to glue onto the long rectangle on the bottom of the hat. Students can complete this independently are can be helped with hand over hand if needed to complete this step. Step 4- Students are then given large pom poms to place on top of the hat. Step 5- Students are given the penguin body. Mark another little x onto the body so students know where to glue, or let students glue the body independently. Then the students will place the tear drop white part of the body onto the penguins body. Step 6- Once the body is completed, students are given the feet to glue on the bottom of the body. An x can be placed in the spot that the glue needs to be. Step 7- Mark an x on the top of the white part of the body (see 3rd photo to the right where the finger is pointing to the x.) This is where the student needs to glue and place the face of the penguin. Step 8- An 'x' is marked on the back of the white part of the penguins face. The student will place glue on this spot on the white cut out and place it on the black part of the penguins face. Step 9- Place another x onto the white part of the face to your child or student to place the penguins peak onto. Once this is finished, the child can place googly-eyes onto the face. Step 10- The child will be given the option between two or three gloves of different colors. They will glue it onto their penguin along with the hat they completed earlier. Now your adorable penguin is complete and ready to be displayed! Please check out my blog soon for other winter activities and polar animal theme including more penguin activities.
