Fingerprint Penguin - two examples of the projectThis penguin craft is perfect to use with preschool age children and older. It provides almost instant gratification for those impatient little ones who want want immediate results. I incorporated this craft into the winter animal theme in my Pre-K class. You could also use it while learning the letter 'P' or after reading a book about penguins.

Fingerprint Penguin - supplies
 

Steps:

  1. Cut the blue paper into fourths. Use one square per penguin. Dip your thumb in white paint and press it into the paper. Lift your thumb and press down again. Repeat this to create a fluffier penguin belly.
  2. Fingerprint Penguin - one cut blue paper use white paint on thumb to make body
     
  3. Dip your thumb or index finger in black paint. I found that it was easier for me to use my index finger and for my students to use their thumbs. Now place a print on the right and left sides of the white belly. Make the black prints slightly slanted away from the white print. Dip your index finger in black again a place a tip print on top of the belly print.
  4. Fingerprint Penguin - use black paint and thumb to make wings and index finger to make the head
