DLTK's Crafts for Kids Penguin Toilet Paper Roll Craft Tasha "taught" me all about penguins one day.  Two interesting facts that I was surprised she knew were that they live at the south pole not the north pole and that they use their wings for swimming not for flying. Materials: a toilet paper roll,  a printer,  something to colour with,  scissors,  glue, and  paper

Instructions:  

• Print out the template of choice. 
   

• Colour the pieces as appropriate and cut them out.
   

• Glue the large rectangular piece around the toilet paper tube.
   

• Glue on the white "bib".
   

• Glue on the black wings (on a real penguin they sort of face straight down when they're just standing around, but Tasha sort of likes to make him look like he's waving.)
   

• Fold the beak on the dotted line and glue the bottom half to the tube.
   

• Fold the feet and glue the tabs to the inside of the tube.
   

• Glue on the eyes and the bow/bowtie depending on whether you want a girl or a boy.
   

Templates:  

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
     
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
