Total Time 1 to 2 hours
Ages school-age
Create your own march of the penguins by crafting a group of these adorable cold-climate creatures. You can make adults with the directions below or cut the pipe cleaners in half to make baby birds.
What you'll need
- 1 (12-inch) black pipe cleaner
- 1 (2 1/2-inch) white pipe cleaner
- 2 (4-inch) black pipe cleaners
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Orange craft foam
- Craft glue
- Googly eyes.
How to make it
Make a body by coiling a 12-inch black pipe cleaner around a pencil. Hook a 2 1/2-inch piece of white pipe cleaner between the top third and fourth coils and around the bottom coil.
For each wing, fold a 4-inch piece of black pipe cleaner in half and bend the ends. Attach it by tucking the bent ends between the top third and fourth coils.
Cut a beak and feet from orange craft foam. Stick the beak between the coils and secure it with a dot of craft glue. Then glue on the feet and a pair of googly eyes.
