Colorful Penguin Painting Craft

I just love this craft, its so vibrant and colorful. Brightens up the winter blues!
I first had the children paint a plain piece of white painting paper. I pre cut all the penguin parts(Construction Paper) and had the kids glue onto the painted paper, the hat and mittens were cut out of scrapbooking paper and then they painted the snowflakes on. I plan on framing Mason's.

The Snowy Day

The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats is a simple tale of a young boy's delight in the first snowfall of the season.

The first activity we did was an Egg Carton Snowman

We made Snowflakes

Links to snowflake patterns are Marcel's Kid Crafts,First Palette
and Your Special Tee

And of course the Scrap Snowman

And last and most fun was the Sparkly Snow Playdoh

Scrap Snowman

Last year I made a Scrap Christmas Tree and everyone seemed to love it so I thought why not make a Scrap Snowman,I love how it turned out and Mason enjoys doing this type of craft.

Sparkly Snow Playdoh

Making and playing with playdoh  is probably Masons favorite activity.
