Book Project {Penguins}

Friday's over here at Casa Camacho, consists of a book and a project {or 2!}
We choose a book and think of something to do that goes along or reiterates what the children learned from the Book.
This past Friday, we chose "Penguins, Penguins, Everywhere!"
My littlest ones really like this book.
They created a Penguin Craft to go along with the book.
I thought the feet would look cute with hand prints. One of the last pages shows a variety of penguins. So, you can maybe have them choose what Penguin they would like to make? The Macaroni Penguin seems to be the favorite in this house. I was thinking their hand prints for eyebrows would look super cute to create that Macaroni Penguin look.
Winter books are really fun...!

Nice job! I did this with my kinders today and they loved doing it! We are going to each add our own penguin fact to the tummy.
Thanks for the terrific idea, especially the handprint feet!
