Materials

  • Popsicle sticks
  • Paint
  • Black string or yarn
  • Googly eyes
  • Small scrap of fabric
  • Glue
  • Foam sheets
  • Baker's twine optional; for making it an ornament

Instructions

  • Take 3 popsicle sticks and glue them together. You can do this by putting glue between the popsicle sticks and pushing them together. Let them dry completely before moving on.
  • Paint the popsicle sticks black and let dry.
  • Use the black string or yarn and wrap the entire middle section of the popsicles, leaving about 1" unwrapped at the top and bottom.
  • Draw out the penguin's beak, belly and feet onto the foam sheets. Cut out.
  • Cut a strip of fabric from your fabric scrap or use some ribbon and tie it around where the penguin's neck would be.
  • Glue the orange nose just above the penguin's scarf.
  • Glue the googly eyes just above the penguin's beak.
  • Glue the white belly towards the bottom of the black yarn.
  • Take the penguin feet and glue them on top of the white belly.
  • If you want to make this craft into a DIY Christmas ornament, loop your baker's twine and glue it to the back of the penguin.
