Penguins, which can be seen at aquariums and zoos across the country, are popular with children too.

Some people may associate them with winter because of the way they live on snow and ice.

In this article, we’ll introduce penguin wall decoration ideas that are perfect for February in early childhood settings.

Many of these can be made with origami paper, construction paper, or paper plates, making them great projects for children to create together with teachers and parents.

A cute penguin you can make with a single sheet of origami paper

Here’s a cute penguin you can make with just one sheet of origami paper—perfect for three-year-olds.

Prepare one sheet of origami paper and fold it into a triangle to make a crease.

Fold the corners along the center line; you’ll be flipping the paper over to fold on both the front and back.

Next, fold the left and right sides toward the central vertical line to form the base of the penguin’s wings.

To give the wings movement and a three-dimensional look, make sure to crease firmly.

After checking that both sides are balanced, fold the tip to round out the overall shape of the penguin, and you’re done.

It might also be fun to make them in different colors and give each penguin a name.

Here’s how to fold an origami penguin that can also wear a hat and scarf.

First, fold it into a triangle twice, then open it once.

With a corner pointing down, fold up the top layer so about 2 centimeters stick out, then fold it down along the edge.

Fold the edge you just made in half to make a crease, then fold the bottom corner up to that crease to set a guideline.

Next, fold the other corner up toward the front crease.

Fold the tip of the corner down just a little.

Fold up along the crease you made earlier, align the edges, and fold the whole piece in half.

Finally, adjust the shape to look like a penguin and draw the eyes with a pen to finish.

Try making a hat and scarf for it, too!

Here’s a super cute way to fold a penguin that’s perfect to attach to letters or cards! First, place the origami paper with the back side facing up and fold it into a triangle twice to make crease lines.

Lift one corner up to just slightly before the center line, then fold both edges of the lifted section upward at a slight diagonal.

Fold both corners of that folded section inward.

Turn it over so the white side is facing you, and fold along the center line twice to shape the face.

Next, use a 2.5 cm piece of origami paper to make the hands.

Start with a basic “zabuton” fold, then fold both corners diagonally to shape the hands.

Make two of these.

Finally, glue the hands on, and add eyes and a mouth with round stickers or similar—done!

This is an easy and cute origami penguin.

First, turn the paper over and make two creases by folding it in half both ways into a square.

Fold one edge down to align with the center crease.

Flip it over, then fold the left and right edges to the center line.

Open the colored corner and squash-fold it.

Fold the bottom edge up to the center to make a crease, open it once, then fold the bottom tip inward along that crease.

Fold the corners to form the feet.

Fold the protruding colored corner to suggest the hands.

Finally, round off the colored tip to finish! Decorate it cutely with round stickers or a pen.

Let’s make a penguin out of origami—perfect as a seasonal decoration for fans or other ornaments.

Fold the paper into a triangle twice, then gently squash-fold it by inserting your finger into the pocket and pressing down softly from the top to puff it open.

Keep folding along the creases to form the penguin’s shape.

Be careful when using scissors to make the cuts—don’t cut the wrong spots.

As you continue, the paper will get thicker, but sharpening your creases will make it easier to proceed.

Once you fold the wings and feet while checking the balance, you’re done.

Give it a try!

Here’s how to fold cute parent-and-child penguins.

First, turn the origami paper to the back and fold it into a triangle twice to make creases.

Fold one corner to align with the center line, open it, then fold along the creases two more times to set the folds.

Fold the corner up twice.

Next, fold both corners at the folded section toward the center line.

Fold the tip up to the front crease, then flip it over.

After flipping, fold the outer corners diagonally upward toward the center line.

Then, fold both corners outward so they stick out, like in the image of hands.

Finally, adjust the corners to shape them into penguins, and you’re done! If you make them with small origami paper as well, you’ll have a parent and child penguin set.

Decorate the eyes with round stickers or a pen.
