Winter is a great time to do lots of excellent animal crafts. My Penguin paper plate craft has moving eyes and is a huge hit with kids! Great Winter art projects for kids no better than this one!

Penguin Winter Art Project for Kids

Penguins have got to be one of the most adorable Artic animals out there. My kids love seeing them at the Zoo. Sometimes they get to watch them being fed fish.

Unfortunately we only get to see them once or twice a year, which is not enough. The good news is that this cute Penguin craft can be with kids at all times.

It is a pretty picture and is interactive in the fact that you can make the penguins eyes roll around! Great for pretend play. I always encourage my kids to think what is on the penguin’s mind when he moves his eyes. Is he tired or looking for food?!

If you love penguin crafts then you should make my mosaic penguin which is suitable for preschool kids. Older kids might enjoy making my cute bookmarks with penguins

My easy craft procedure will help you recreate this easy Winter paper plate craft.

How to make a paper plate penguin craft instructions are easy to follow for kids of all ages.
