Sharing is caring!

This week we made penguins as Jan 20th marks Penguin Awareness day .. Also, I am still not out of my winter theme. Yes! I should wake up and announce the Jan theme soon. My sincerest apologies to all the people who sent me their entries via email. I will upload them all and choose a winner .. I hope you all do stay with me.
Coming back to the Artic Antarctic Theme craft from this week’s class,

Potato Print Penguin Craft

Here’s what you’ll need –

1. A4 sheet – white
2. Blue water colour,
3. White, black & orange acrylic colour.
4. Potato cut in half
5. Cotton
6. Punched white paper (snowflakes)
7. Paper plate cut in half
8. Black marker
9. Glue
10. Sponge & brush

To make –

1. Paint the white sheet blue using a sponge
2. While that dries, draw wall like designs on the paper plates. The 4 year olds could not figure out the wall effect and drew boxes
3. Stick onto page using glue.
4. In the space around it, use one half of a potato and print a black oval.Let that dry completely.
5. Using a scrunched up paper add snow effect by randomly printing over the page.. I told the kids to add snow mostly below the penguins feet.. but the kids loved it and printed all over.
6. cut the other half of the potato into a smaller oval and printed the white stomach of the penguin.
7. Use a brush and orange colour to colour in the feet and beak.
8. Stick on some cotton & paper circle snowflakes.
9. Using the back of a pencil, stamp the eyes.

Here are the happy faces.
