You need:
2 Slices of whole wheat bread
Cheese spread
1 Carrot
1 Grilled chicken breast (I used one left over from the night before)
Lettuce
Candied eyes
Pumpkin cookie cutter
Paring knife

Method:

Cut the bread using the pumpkin cookie cutter, remove the stalk.
Spread cheese spread onto each penguin. This will also work as “glue” to stop your penguin form falling apart.
Slice the carrot thinly, use two slices per penguin. Cut a small triangle out of each round to make a foot shape and use the cut off triangles for the penguin beaks.
Slice the chicken breast length ways for the wings.
Assemble your penguin, as below, and use a little roughly chopped lettuce as “ground cover”.

Our Poppins Book Nook book this month is Penguin by Polly Dunbar and I decided that our first Bee Crafty Kids post was going to follow the same theme.

The kids absolutely loved this craft and as an added bonus, it was a lovely winter’s day outside, so we headed out there and got crafting!

Meet my wonderful co-hosts HERE

What you need:
White cardboard (1 per child)
Black paper
Yellow board
White paper
Pencil
Scissors
Glue
Eyes (2 per penguin)
1 shoe per child

Directions:

Trace the shoe of the child onto the black paper, cut it out

Paste the cut out footprint, toes down, on the white cardboard

Cut an oval out of the white paper and paste in the centre of the footprint. This is make the body of the penguin, face and belly.
Cut feet and beak out of the yellow board, paste in the appropriate places
Paste on the eyes

Even Noo joined in on the fun 🙂
