Physical Education
Penguin Walk
Place your hands by your sides. You can move your arms some and
walk
slowly like a penguin. You can play slow music while you do this.
Arts & Crafts
Talk about different penguins. Read a book(s). Look
at
different types of penguins and design your penguin accordingly.
You
can make a funny looking penguin if you choose to do so (like "Tacky
the
Penguin"). Have fun!
This is a messy but fun art project. Children enjoy working with
feathers.
You will need to work with younger children.
Time: 50-60 minutes
With your shoe on or off (or one of both), place your foot (or feet)
onto
a black piece of construction paper. Trace around the foot (or
feet)
with white chalk (or crayon). Cut it (them) out with scissors.
Glue
onto a piece of blue construction paper (the smaller part of the paper
is
the head). Glue construction paper (or cut-up feathers or
construction
paper) for eyes, legs, beak, wings, and legs. For the Macaroni penguin, glue cut-up
yellow
feathers (or cut-up pieces of construction paper or add some yellow
paint)
to the top of the head and glue cut-up feathers or use construction
paper
for the eyes. For the King penguin, glue
cut-up orange and blue feathers or construction paper (or you can use
paint) onto the penguin. Finger paint white feathers onto the
penguin and around
the penguin for falling snow. Let dry.
Construction Paper
Penguin
Cut a piece of black construction paper and glue it into a
cylinder. Cut another one (about half the size of the other one)
and glue it into a cylinder. Add a rounded white piece of
construction paper to the large cylinder (about the size of the smaller
piece of black construction paper). Glue the smaller cylinder on
top of the larger cylinder. Hole punch two white eyes. Glue
it on the head and color them with black crayon to make pupils.
Cut two black wings. Make some smaller white wings and glue it
onto the black wings.
Glue the wings onto the penguin. Fold a piece of orange
construction paper in half and cut it into a triangle to make a
beak. Glue it onto the head. Cut some webbed feet and glue
it on the bottom of the penguin. Cut a tail for the penguin and
glue it on the bottom
of the penguin in the back. Crease it up a little. Date it
and put the child's name on it.
Egg Carton Penguin
Cut off one cup from a cardboard egg carton. Paint the front part
of the carton cup with white tempera paint and let dry. Paint
around the white with black tempera paint and let dry. Cut a small
orange triangle for the beak. Cut 2 webbed feet for the
feet. Glue the beak and feet onto the penguin. Add 2 wiggle
eyes. Date it and put the child's name on it.
