Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your winter penguin art:
1. Cut Out Penguin Shapes
Cut a large oval from black felt for the body. Then cut a smaller oval from white felt for the belly, and a small circle for the face. Cut small triangles from orange felt for the beak and tiny ovals for the feet.
2. Assemble the Penguin
Glue the white oval onto the black oval to form the penguin’s body. Attach the white face circle at the top of the white belly. Glue the orange beak in the center of the face, and add small black dots for eyes using markers or black felt.
3. Add Fluffy Details
Use cotton balls to create a snowy background or to add fluffy details around the penguin’s head and body. Glue small cotton balls around the penguin to simulate snow or a wintery scene.
