This project is the perfect craft for winter. Here are a few ideas for ways to use this printable cut and paste craft:
- As a fun activity to go along with a library activity such as reading Tacky the Penguin or Spike
- As an accompaniment to watching Happy Feet with your whole family
- To make a paper bag or stick puppet
- As part of a lesson plan about the Antarctic or winter animals

Younger children (preschool and pre-k) may need adult supervision and assistance to cut out the smaller pieces like the feet, wings, and beak.
