Make a Paper bag penguin

The kids completed this paper bag penguin craft at Jurong Bird Park. I don’t know where the original idea is sourced from (if you know, please leave me a comment so I can credit the right party   ), and I don’t have step-by-step pics, but it’s easy enough to replicate at home.

You will need: A paper bag, three or four strips of squares cut from an egg carton, orange and black coloured paper, scissors, glue, white or light coloured crayons.

1. Fill up the paper bag with the egg carton pieces, and seal the top down with glue.

2. With the scissors, cut out a semi circle and two oval shapes from the black sheet of paper. Cut out three triangles from the orange sheet of paper.

3. Paste the semi circle at the top centre section of the paper bag – this is the penguin’s head. Paste the two oval shapes one at each sideof the paper bag to make the penguin’s fins.

4. Turn the paper bag over. Paste on the beak, and two feet according to the picture.

5. Draw in the penguin’s eyes with a crayon.
