I can’t wait to share a great way to make little penguins with things you probably already have at hand! Let’s make a penguin craft with a rock and some paint. It’s such a fun craft that kids of all ages can do.
This is the perfect craft for the winter months when the kids cannot go outside because it’s too cold, or maybe you just finished watching Happy Feet and are looking for simple penguin crafts for little kids.
Fun Rock Penguin Craft
A DIY penguin craft is a perfect addition to your winter crafts. Adorable penguin crafts that can be made with rocks are just so much fun! Young children can follow the instructions to make it with their own little hands while practicing their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Older kids can enjoy this fun activity by making their own penguin family.
It’s a great way to pass the time when you don’t know how to keep the kids busy after school and have kids of different ages around. Let’s get started!
List of supplies
- A rock
- Black, orange and white acrylic paints
- Paint brush
Instructions to make a penguin rock craft
Step 1
Choose the part of the rock that will be the front of your penguin, and using the paintbrush, paint the white first. You can draw a heart shape on top of the penguin’s head.
Step 2
Let it dry, and then paint a second coat if you can still see through the white paint. After that, add the black paint.
Step 3
Paint the beak and the feet using the orange paint and let it dry again!
Step 5
Using a finer paintbrush or a toothpick, draw on the eyes and the wing outlines.
