We love studying penguins in the winter! If you do, too, you HAVE to check out this great list of hands-on penguin activities for kids!

My daughter is obsessed with penguins. She collects penguin stuffed animals and penguin socks. Penguins also happen to be her favorite exhibit at the zoo and at the aquarium. So, when we read Mr. Popper’s Penguins a few years ago, it quickly became a favorite.

Today, I’m sharing twenty hands-on penguin activities. Below, you’ll discover crafts for kids of all ages along with some fun science experiments and sensory bins.
