Supplies Needed to Make a Popsicle Stick Penguin Bookmark

Large popsicle sticks
Black and white paint
Black sharpie
Blue felt
Yellow felt
Scissors
Glue – we like this craft glue that is stronger and works well with gluing felt on.

Directions to Make a Popsicle Stick Penguin Bookmark

1. Using the sharpie, draw some curved lines where you want the wings to be and a straight line about an inch from the bottom to indicate where the feet will go. Also, draw a heart shape for the face.

2. Next, carefully paint the popsicle stick black, leaving the face shape, chest and feet portions unpainted.

3. Paint inside the chest and the face area with white paint.

After the paint has dried, you can use a sharpie to outline the shapes that you painted to clean up any messy edges.

4. Draw 2 eyes on the face with a sharpie and glue a tiny yellow triangle on the face for the beak.

5. Cut the feet out of yellow felt and glue them to bottom of the penguin.

6. Lastly, cut 2 strips of blue felt and glue them onto the neck of the penguin for the scarf. If desired, you can fringe the edges to give it some more detail.

And your penguins are ready to be the perfect winter bookmark! Your kids will have a blast making these on a cold winter day. Grab your supplies and some cups of hot cocoa and have fun crafting!
