Instructions:

1. Start by cutting out all of the pieces you’ll need for DIY penguin puppet from your cardstock. You’ll need a penguin body shape cut from your black cardstock, a 2-inch black circle cut in half for penguin flippers, a 2 1/2-inch white circle and an orange penguin beak.

2. Glue your white circle in the middle of the penguin body. Then use your 3/4-inch hole punch to punch out two holes at the bottom of the penguin body. These are for your fingers to poke through and act as cut little penguin feet.

3. Finish your handmade penguin puppet craft by gluing a black flipper on each side of the penguin body and then glue on the googly eyes and the beak.
