How To Draw A Cute Christmas Penguin - Step by Step Guide
A great Christmas themed creative activity for kids!
When I was young, Christmas meant a lot of things; family, school plays and re-runs of The Vicar Of Dibley on the T.V to name a few! But one of the things I looked forward to the most, was sitting down at the family table for hours with a bucket of colouring pencils and a stack of white paper and drawing page after page of Christmas themed pictures. Penguins, reindeer, Santa, Snowmen - you name it, I drew it!
Twenty odd years later, and I'm sitting at my own table with my nephews and nieces doing the very same thing.
This November, I'll be creating four Christmas themed step-by-step guides that you can draw with the children in your family. Try igniting the imagination of children of all ages by helping them draw, and for the younger kids, scroll to the bottom of each guide to download the full picture to print out and colour in!
The first guide is our cute Christmas Penguin! Are you ready?
You can use crayons, pens, pencils or even paint!
Draw an egg that is missing the top.
You can make the flipper point upwards or downwards - do you want him to be waving?
Draw another flipper on the other side.
You can make them symmetrical or have this one pointing a different way.
This is going to be his hat
This penguin is wearing a hat like Santa!
Don't worry if your wavy line looks a little different from mine, that's all part of being creative!
Make sure there are no gaps!
Draw a circle on the end of the hat for your bobble
Can you guess what this will be?
That's right, it is the penguin's beak!
Remember to connect them so there are no gaps.
Try making a W shape for the foot, and connect it to the penguin's body.
You can give him big feet, or little feet - it's up to you!
Draw two little dots for the penguin's eyes.
