So after watching the movie and then, doing the quiz all about penguins, the boys then decided to create some of their own penguins.
They did an image search for different types of penguins and then, they each created their own penguin.
Big Bro chose to make a Rock Hopper penguin and Little Bro said that his penguin was an Emperor Penguin.
We happened to have some sheets from Enchanted Learning about these two types of penguins, so the boys colored the sheets and learned about the body parts of penguins.
We then pulled out some works we have here about penguins, namely penguin three part cards from Jojoebi (Thanks, Jo) and some neat penguin materials that we got as part of a continent swap with Honey from Mondorfment (thanks Honey).
I then decided to create a new Pinterest board for all things penguin-y...called Playful Penguins.
Here are some fun photos from the boys' project for World Penguin Day, along with some pins from my Playful Penguins board:
