Materials Required
- Cardboard/Toilet Paper Roll
- Scissors
- Glue
- Colored Paper Sheets (Black, White, Red, Pink, And Orange)
Procedure
Step 1: Covering A Cardboard Roll With Black Paper
To start this craft, take a toilet paper roll or cardboard roll as the base for your penguin craft and a black paper sheet. Using glue, cover and stick the black paper sheet over the roll, and using scissors, cut out the extra sheet coming out of the roll. This will be the body of the penguin.
Step 2: Making The Belly Of The Penguin
From a white paper sheet, cut out a long semi-circle using scissors and paste it at the below end of the body using glue to make its belly as shown in the image.
Step 3: Making Facial Features And Hands
Cut out 2 circles from the white sheet and further smaller circles from the black sheet using scissors. Now, cut out 2 very tiny circles from the black circles to make holes in them. Paste the black-holed circles over the white circles using glue to make the eyes of the penguin. Paste the eyes on the top above the belly side by side using glue. Also, cut out a semi-circle from a red sheet for the mouth and paste it below and between the eyes of the penguin.
From the black sheet, cut out 2 wing-like curvy hands and bend their broad ends to make creases. Using glue paste the hands on the sides of the penguin above the belly from the bent part to make them look straight coming out of the figure.
Step 4: Adding A Flower And Making Feet
Cut out a 7-petaled flower from pink paper and a circle from yellow paper. Paste the circle over the flower to make its center using glue. Now, paste this flower over the top-right of the penguin, keeping half of it over the body and half outward.
Now, for the feet, cut out 2 heart shapes from orange paper and paste them side by side at the bottom over the belly using glue.
Your Cardboard Roll Penguin Is Ready!
For the last step, cut out a diamond shape from red paper and fold it in half to make a crease. Paste this diamond shape over the mouth from the crease to give a 3D mouth to your penguin using glue.
