Valentines’s Penguin Paper Craft Step by Step Directions:

Step 1: Fold a piece of black construction paper in half.ย  Now weโ€™re ready to draw our penguin!Begin by drawing the penguinโ€™s head at the top of the fold and continue drawing down to the bottom of the page to create his body. Check that the top of the penguinโ€™s head meets the fold. Next, draw one penguin wing.

Step 2: Time for some cutting! Cut out the penguinโ€™s body and wing. Be sure to keep the paper folded as you cut! Now youโ€™ve created two wings and a folded penguin body.

Step 3: Now comes the fun part! Letโ€™s make some creative details. Draw a heart on white paper for his belly. Next, make two eyes and a beak. Finally, create any other fun details you like including a bow tie, hat, hair bow or additional hearts. There are so many creative possibilities!

Step 4: Letโ€™s get gluing! Collect up all of your penguin piecesย and glue them to the body. Save the feet to glue on after step 5.
