Description:

Get ready for a cozy winter craft! Kids will create their very own Winter Penguin. Penguins are often surrounded by harsh conditions, yet they stand tall and resilient even when it's cold and dark. Using simple materials, each child will decorate a cute penguin and then weave yarn across its belly to create a warm, gentle feel. This hands-on weaving activity is great for building fine motor skills while encouraging creativity and focus! It's going to be snow much fun!
