How to Make a Penguin Puppet

First print out the penguin template. Then either color in the template pieces or grab some colored craft paper. Cut out the template pieces and trace onto your colored papers and cut out. Our template includes the penguins head, face, wings and body, along with their beak, feet and cheeks.

Start by attaching the face piece to the middle of the head like shown below.

Then glue on his eyes, beak and cheeks.

Grab the paper bag and a black piece of paper. Measure out a piece of the black paper big enough to cover the front of the paper bag, like shown below.

Then attach it to the front of the paper bag. This will be the front of your penguin puppet.

Next, attach the penguin’s belly toward the top of the black part of the bag.

Then attach his feet to the bottom and the wings to each side of the paper bag.

Finally, flatten the “bottom” of the bag so you can attach the head on the front side of the penguin puppet.

Glue the head on and let everything dry completely before playing with your cute little penguin puppet craft!

And that’s it! Now you’ve finished making this adorable penguin and can have lots of fun playing make believe.
