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!

Ice fishing, activity for toddlers

ICE FISHING Cognitive Activity for toddlers I wrapped a box with white paper, then cut out a hole on one side. I put magnet fishes in it and gave my "kids" the magnet fishing poles that goes with them. If you don't have that you can make your own poles with paper towel tubes with a string and a letter magnet and paper fishes with a paper clip. This activity is good for initiative, engagement in learning and cognitive flexibility.

Punch 6 holes, try to make the one across at the same distance from the edge then change the height location for the other sets. Meaning one set of two close to the upper edge, another one close to the lower edge and the last one in the middle. Give your student a ring and three cotton swabs then provide more as they finish them. Have fun like we did!

Snowy owl

Snowy owl Craft for toddlers Preparation Cut out 2 big circles per child and 2 smaller black circles, glue the black ones in the yellow ones, cut out a black triangle. Get ready 3 black construction papers, 3 dark blue and 3 purple. The activity It can be done as a full group or small or individually. Go with the flow of your class that moment. I like to make one in advance as a model and if they are responsive I make one in front of them for them to see the steps. I gave them choice of the dark colors, (toddlers love to have choice) and makes them learning their name and recognizing them. Spread a good amount of white tempera paint with a little glue mixed in, on a dark construction paper. Demonstrate your children how to spread it as you give them a white feather, if they get frustrated give them a paint brush. When they are done give them the eyes and the beak.
