To Create An Emperor Penguin
It's really easy to create an Emperor Penguin by simply coloring his belly. I used chalk in picture above so that colors would blend easily. Simply color around outside of belly with yellow chalk and then put a line of orange next to that. Blend colors together.
You could do same thing with crayons or watercolor paint, but blending won't be as smooth. Younger children won't care about that a bit.
To Create A Macaroni Penguin
It's also a lot of fun to make a Macaroni Penguin. First cut a piece of paper to fit around inside of tube. Cut slits in tube to make a fringe, and then glue it to inside of tube. Rough it up to make it look more fuzzy.
Fringe too difficult? Use strings, yarn, or even a pom pom to make crazy hair on head of a macaroni penguin.
By way, picture on our site is a little deceiving. Macaroni Penguins are supposed to have a little bit of yellow or orange hair on outside edges of their top knot -- but this is just too complicated for younger children!
