When it comes to winter crafts for kids, kids often think of penguins, snowmen, and occasionally polar bears.

We love penguin crafts, one of our favorites is definitely the toilet paper roll penguin which is great for preschoolers and kindergarteners or the cotton ball penguin which toddlers can play with too.

The tutorial we are sharing today is suitable for older kids – preschoolers and up and is sure to be enjoyed by them too.

Or follow the step-by-step instructions below

You will need two strips of black paper, one slightly wider than the other, both can be the same length.

You can fold the paper to mark the “cut” line.

Cut two strips of black paper.

Apply glue to one end of the paper strip.

Make a roll.

Repeat with remaining strips of paper. Allow glue to dry.

We often use clothespins to hold the paper in place while the glue dries.

Take the smaller roll of paper (penguin head shape) and glue two eyes on it.

Cut out a triangular beak shape from orange paper and glue it onto the head.

Cut a U shape from white paper (the U shape should be slightly thinner than the width of the body).

Glue it to the body of the paper penguin.

Stick the head to the body.

Cut a base (ice base) out of white cardstock.

Cut penguin legs out of orange paper and glue them to the base.

Finally glue the penguin to the base.

Done!

You have created a wonderful paper penguin.
