Materials

  • Printable

  • Scissors

Steps

  1. Start by purchasing and printing out the accompanying clipart for this craft. Cut penguin figurines (to save time, feel free to loosely cut around them). 
  2. Cut out a strip of paper in a length that can easily wrap around finger (guide strips for the penguins provided in the clipart or you can cut your own.) 
  3. For the penguins, glue the strip to the back; roll the ends of the strip together into a circle and glue. For the North Pole sign, the strip is already attached to the clipart; cut on the lines, roll the two ends together and glue.

You are all set to play! This is a great craft for holiday reunions if you’re hosting a lot of children at your home, classrooms or just any slow winter morning where you need an easy activity to keep the kids busy.
