Printable Penguin Paper Kids Craft
Printable paper crafts provide an easy and affordable way to keep your kids entertained. With just a few clicks, you can be on your way to creating a memorable craft project for any occassion.
Use this penguin standup to make cards, placecards, nametags or small signs for Christmas or winter-themed parties. Use cardstock, construction paper or other heavyweight paper for best results.
Penguin Craft Instructions
1. Print the penguin. You can use a copier to resize it as needed. You may either use the printout as your standup, or use it as a pattern to make penguins without printed features. If you want to use the printed penguin, but cannot print on heavy paper, you can glue the penguin to a cardstock backing before cutting it out.
2. Fold the cardstock in half, leaving room for the entire penguin on the folded paper.
3. Place the top of the penguin's head along the fold of the paper and cut around it. When you open it up, it will stand up. You can decorate it with paint, markers, crayons and anything else you have around. If you plan to use decorations that may be heavy (glitter glue, sequins, ribbons), make sure your paper is heavy or your penguins will fall over.
Uses for Penguin Cards
Stand up cards make great place cards for parties. You can also use them to label food on a buffet table, as gift tags for wrapped packages or as paper dolls. Challenge your children to be creative; you may be surprised by the projects they come up with!
