Embellishments for penguin – googly eyes, orange felt, pipe cleaner and mini pom poms (you can leave the last bit out) Make a really simple cotton ball penguin by glue cotton balls onto the penguin’s belly, the texture of this craft make it a really nice one for preschoolers and kids in kindergarten too. The other thing to note about today’s craft.. though I give you a basic “pom pom pattern”… I find that each penguin comes out with a completely different character. Embrace these differences and be excited about the fact that your creations will be different. Will you have a short chubby one or a long thin one? What colour ear muffs will your penguin have? Enjoy!

When school asked for donations of wool, so they could make Pom Pom Wreaths with KS1 (5-7yrs olds), I thought – oh no.. that is a LOT of wool you will need.
