Every Thursday A Mommys Adventures does a really fun blog carnival every Thursday – read your child a story then accompany it with art!
Over the weekend we took my oldest to Sea World & for his birthday gift we did a behind the scenes tour. We got up close with penguins. So this week we are learning about penguins!
The book we read for StART is The Little Penguin
PreSchool-Grade 2-When Little Penguin hatches, he is covered with downy gray feathers, but his father assures him that, “One day you will be an Emperor of the Ice like me.” On their long journey across the big ice plain, Little Penguin forgets his father’s warnings to stay close and soon gets lost. Not only that, but he also realizes that he is losing his feathers and is afraid he will freeze. All’s well in the end, however, when the little animal is reunited with his parents.
Then my boys watercolored a oval w/ a circle on top (the penguin’s body & head) then I painted their hands for the penguins wings, then with acyrlic paint they handpainted their face & feet.

I love hand art. The penguins are so cute.
How cool that your children got to see the penguins up close. Neat book and activity. Fun handprint wings.
Another great handprint craft! What fun that they got to touch the penguin 🙂
