3D Penguin Valentine Craft
We’ve used these penguins for Valentine’s Day, but it would be a super cute craft for any time of year and if you prefer you can leave the heart off and just make a plain penguin.
Supplies:
- Free Printable Valentine Penguin Craft Template (Get yours at the bottom of this page.)
- Printer Cardstock
- Colouring Pens/Pencils etc.
- Marker Pen
- Scissors
- Glue
How to Make a Paper Penguin
1 – Start by downloading and printing your free printable Valentine Penguin craft template onto white printer cardstock. (Get your penguin template at the bottom of this page.)
2 – Next, have fun colouring the template in. You can draw on any embellishments you like. We added eyelashes to our grey penguin.
3 – Then carefully cut the template pieces out.
4 – To make your penguin 3D and enable it to stand up, curl the penguin into a cone shape and glue along the tab to hold it in place.
5 – If you want your penguin to hold a cute heart, glue the tips of its flippers/wings onto the edge of the heart, one on each side.
6 – Now, glue the shoulders/tops of the flippers onto the sides of the penguin’s body. This will make the heart stand proud of the tummy, and add to the lovely 3D effect.
Now your 3D Standing penguins are ready for some love and to go on display! Why not make them some Valentine Polar Bear friends? The two crafts go so well together.
