Winter Pengiun

Step 1Blow up a balloon approximately 1/4 full, then tie off in a tight knot.
Step 2Grab an egg carton and cut out two individual egg compartments. These will be feet. Tape them to the bottom of the balloon.
Step 3Tape the balloon knot down, so it is easy to cover.
Step 4From the lid of the egg carton cut two beak shapes (semi circles) and tape to the face of your penguin.
Step 5Cut two wing shapes from cover paper and tape to each side of the balloon.
Step 6Get ready to cover the balloon all over in Mod-Wrap. Cut thin strips of Mod-Wrap then dip these one at a time into a shallow bowl of warm water. Squeeze out excess water into the bowl before laying over the balloon.
Step 7Overlap the layers of Mod-Wrap strips in different directions to build strength. Let the Mod-Wrap dry thoroughly before decorating.
Step 8Paint your penguin black, with a white tummy. Paint his feet and beak orange. Glue two large wiggle eyes onto the face above the beak.
Step 9Make ear muffs for your penguin. Grab two large pom poms and a chenille stem. Cut the chenille stem in half and glue a pom pom to each end. Bend the chenille stem into a curve and glue the ear muffs to your penguin’s head.
Step 10Cut a long strip of felt to make a scarf for your penguin. Decorate with sequins and attach with glue. Wrap the scarf around your penguin.
Step 11Make a bow tie for your penguin using felt and attach under his mouth with glue.
