Directions to Make a Popsicle Stick Penguin Bookmark

1. Using the sharpie, draw a heart shape for the face.

You can also do this with a pencil or free hand paint the penguin shape on.

2. Also draw two lines for the side of the penguin and a straight line on the bottom.

3. Next, carefully paint the popsicle stick black.

Leave the face shape, chest and feet portions unpainted.

4. Paint inside the chest and the face area with white paint.

After the paint has dried, you can use a sharpie to outline the shapes that you painted to clean up any messy edges.

5. Cut out felt feet and glue to the bottom.

6. Cut out two scarf pieces and glue on.

To make the scarf pieces, cut 2 rectangular strips and then use scissors to cut the fringe out of one side.

7. Draw 2 eyes on the face with a sharpie.

8. Lastly, cut out a small triangle for the nose and glue on.

You can also draw or paint the nose on.

And your penguins are ready to be the perfect winter bookmark! Your kids will have a blast making these on a cold winter day. Grab your supplies and some cups of hot cocoa and have fun crafting!
