Sail Away With Books!
Cover the bulletin board with white paper and draw lines to create hills of snow. Have
penguins sitting and sliding on the snow banks while they are reading books. Use cotton
balls and first aid cotton or spray-on snow for added authenticity. Penguin patterns and
iceberg illustrations can be printed from Dea’s Crafty Creations,
www.dcrafts.com/penguingraphics.htm.
Nametags
Penguin Triangles
Cut a large triangle out of black construction paper. Cut out white circles for eyes and
glue them on, or use wiggly eyes. Glue on a small orange triangle for a nose, two small
orange triangles for feet, and one white half-circle on the bottom for the penguin’s
stomach. Write the child’s name on penguin’s stomach.
Displays
Brrrr!
Display books, videos, DVDs, and musical recordings about penguins and the South Pole
along with stuffed penguins, snow globes, and figurines. Set up the display on white
fabric or paper. Sprinkle snow made from white confetti or cotton balls on top of the
items.
Refreshments
Oreo Penguin Snack
Ingredients:
Oreo cookies
Candy corn
Hershey’s Kisses
Directions
Prepare the snack in advance or allow the children to assemble it themselves. Pull the
Oreo cookie apart. Take the half that does not have the icing on it and cut or break it
into two pieces. Press a Hershey’s Kiss into the iced half to create the penguin’s head.
Press the two plain pieces into the icing with the curved sides facing in to create the
penguin’s wings. Place pieces of candy corns on the bottom for the penguin’s feet.
