Today we’re taking a break from our Christmas crafting to share a winter craft for now or after the holidays are gone: a mix and match shape penguin craft.
We have worked before with shapes and created a 3D snowman and a shape Santa. It’s a great way for kids to learn or review shapes and this craft will introduce them to circles, squares, rectangles, ovals, triangles, hexagons and trapezoids.

Supplies:
- Shape Penguin template
- construction paper: white, black and orange
- scissors
- glue
Step 1: Start by printing the shape penguin template onto coordinated construction paper or cardstock.
Step 2: Cut out the shapes.
Step 3: It’s time to glue all the pieces together and bring our penguins to life. Start with the belly that will be glued in the middle of the black body shape.
Step 4: Glue the eyes on top of the body shape and the beak below the eyes.
Step 5: Next glue the feet on top of the bottom of the body.
Step 6: Glue one flipper on each side of the penguin.
Step 7: Chose any accessory and glue it on the penguin.
Alternative:
You can print all patterns on white paper, cut out the shapes. Trace the shapes on black and orange construction paper or cardstock and cut them out.
