Download the penguin template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
Begin by gluing the black paper strips into a tall rectangle on the background paper. This will be the penguin's body. We used 7-8 strips.
Next, glue the head to the top portion of the paper strips.
Position the belly in the center of the body and glue it in place.
Glue the beak in the center of the face.
Now, glue the feet to the bottom portion of the body.
Place the arms on the sides of the body and glue them down.
Finish off by drawing the cheeks below the eyes.
