Aren’t these little penguin puppets cute? Big Brother has been having a ton of fun playing with them! I found this fun idea for making penguin puppets from empty toilet paper rolls from Preschool Express.
Here’s what you’ll need: toilet paper roll, black paint, construction paper, and googly eyes.
 |
| 1. Let your little one carefully paint the toilet paper rolls black. |
 |
| 2. Let them dry for a few hours. |
 |
| 3. Cut out some ovals from white paper. |
 |
| 4. Put glue on the backside of the ovals… |
 |
| …and place them on the painted TP roll. |
 |
| 5. Add googly eyes and orange triangles cut out of construction paper. |
 |
| 6. We then added a few bow ties…just for fun! Big Brother named them after he and Little Brother. |
 |
| Have fun acting out some arctic fun with these penguin puppets! |
Thanks for posting! We are going to make these today.
Hi.Whenever my little three and four year olds are painting a toilet roll for a craft, I attach a clothes peg to the roll and the children hold this while they are painting. I just move the peg when they are nearly finished so that they can paint there. It keeps little hands and fingers a bit cleaner, especially when working with a large group of children.
What a great idea!
