How to draw a penguin, for toddlers

 


HOW TO DRAW A PENGUIN, FOR TODDLERS
I'm not an artist, if I can do it, so can you.  I prefer sitting at the table and draw an imperfect one then printing a perfect one.  When I'm sitting at the children table I keep on interacting with them and they find me entertaining.  If it takes several attempts,  no big deal.


1. Draw an oval the size you want your penguin(s) to be, with a black marker.

2. Inside the oval, draw 2 ovals for the eyes, with a circle for the pupils.

3. Make a triangle in the middle of the big oval.

4.  Make an oval in the lower part of the body, starting at the triangle and ending on the other side of it.

5.  Draw 2 webbed orange feet on each side, sticking out.  They don't have to be perfect or exactly the same, your toddlers don't ask you that.

6. Color the beak yellow.

7. Color in black around the eyes, the beak and the belly.  Add 2 flippers on either side.

My "kids" liked to see me doing them.

I laminated them and used them for a math activity during the Penguin lesson :

also for a cognitive activity (symbolic representation) when we played with the igloo we made:

Another math activity (number operations),  1 penguin + 1 penguin = 2 penguins: 

Here they are again when we played with white stuff in the sensory table, 


I encourage you to draw with the kids, most of us draw like a 12 years old because it's when we stopped.  Start over and you'll grow from there and if the result is funny then have a laugh 😃. 

Happy drawing!
