Winter, snow, ice and cold temperature make us tinker with this penguin. Whether as a pen cup / brush holder or for decoration is left to your imagination.
Use an empty drinking yoghurt cup and paint it, except for a round "swelling surface", black.
Parts such as feet, wing arms, eyes and the beak are made of paper. You can use colored clay paper residue or paint white paper accordingly colorful.
You can find out how all this works in the illustrated guide step by step. Enjoy crafting.

Make cat and mouse out of socks
„Like Katz and Maus“ from socks we show you here. This cat and the mouse are a craft project for children who like to make their toys themselves and bring in ideas. From a single sock – no matter if this is black, brown, grey or white – a cat or a mouse is created with little material in a flash. Maybe you're making an entire cat family? Or is the cat hunting the mice?
For an animal you fill a sock with rice. Next to it you need two wobble eyes, a button, some wool, a few paper remnants and a pipe cleaner.
