[Childcare] Cute Penguin Craft Ideas | Introduced by Age Group

Nursery Teacher Mom Writertsukada moe
After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

Among the creatures found in aquariums, penguins are especially popular with children.

They can be used in many situations—for example, as a motif that creates a cool, refreshing feel in the hot summer, or depicted together with snow and scarves in winter.

However, depending on the class’s age group, you may find yourself unsure about how to approach the expression.

So this time, we’re introducing penguin craft ideas tailored to different target ages.

We’re sharing a variety of ideas, from items you can display and enjoy to ones you can play with.

Please use them as a reference.

Because items made by children are treated as works, we use the term “seisaku” (制作) in the text.

[For 5-year-olds] Let’s try it! Seasonal origami: “Penguin”

In the hot summer, let’s make a penguin that loves the cool ice and enjoy a refreshing feeling with the kids.

First, fold the origami into a triangle and open it, then fold the bottom corner up toward the center crease.

Flip it over, place it so it forms a diamond shape, and fold the bottom corner up again toward the top of the diamond.

Next, fold both side corners toward the center crease, turn it over, and fold both sides toward the center again so that all the white areas appear on the front.

Then insert your finger into the white section at the bottom, open it up, and squash-fold it into a triangle.

Repeat this on both sides.

Finally, fold the head down a little, turn the origami over, and fold the beak to finish.

Draw a face to make it cute!
