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!
