Apply glue to one of the folded halves of a penguin belly.
Attach another folded circle onto the first and align them together.
Do the same with the rest of the circles till all 4 circles are attached.
Apply glue to the two ends and stick them to the bottom of the black oval.
Step 3: Glue the feet under the belly.
Step 4: Glue the wings, one on each side of the body.
Step 5: Glue the eye circles on top of the belly and the beak under the eyes.
Step 6: Use a round paint sponge and black paint to make a small black circle in the middle of each white eye circle.
