Ingredients
Crafting Materials
- 1 piece Plastic or wooden spoons (white or natural color)
- 1 bottle Black acrylic paint For the penguin's head and handle
- 1 bottle White acrylic paint For the penguin's belly
- 1 sheet Orange cardstock or foam For the beak and feet

Instructions
Preparation
- Find a clean, flat surface to work on. Lay down newspaper or a plastic sheet to avoid mess.
- Gather all materials for easy access.
Painting
- With a paintbrush, apply black acrylic paint to the spoon's head and handle, leaving the bottom white.
- Allow it to dry completely.
Creating the Face
- Once dry, use white paint to add a circular patch to the center of the black painted head. This will be the penguin’s belly.
- Attach the googly eyes just above the belly section using craft glue.
Adding Beak and Feet
- Cut out small triangles from orange cardstock or foam for the beak.
- Cut out webbed shapes for the feet.
- Glue the beak to the face between the eyes and attach the feet at the base of the spoon.
Finalizing
- Ensure everything is securely glued and let the craft sit for a few hours for all components to adhere well.
Notes
Accessorize your penguin with a scarf or hat using felt or fabric scraps for extra character. Create other types of penguins by altering colors and patterns. Use glitter paint for more sparkle.
