If you like this cute penguin you’ll love our frozen banana penguins!

Could you just die with the cuteness of this craft, and that little boy reaching for it?! I couldn’t have planned that shot if I had tried. He was so excited about the little penguin craft that we made out of a clear ornament! I’ve had a box of these in my Christmas box for a couple of years and finally made something with them.

There are so many fun uses for clear ornaments. I like using the big ones to put small gifts inside and these little ones are great for smaller crafts.

This penguin ornament craft takes just minutes to make and uses basic craft supplies!

If you have felt, a pom pom, and hot glue, you are well on your way to making a whole variety of ornament animals!

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Active Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 7 minutes

Yield: penguin

Cost: $2

Equipment

scissors
hot glue gun

Materials

clear ornament
small funnel
fake Snow (Dollar Store)
felt scraps
2 black pom poms
googly eyes
ribbon

Instructions

Remove the top of the ornament and use a small funnel to fill the ornament with fake snow/styrofoam. Replace top.
Cut out a heart for the feet, a strip for the wings, and a small triangle for the beak.
Hot glue the wings onto the top of the ornament. Add a drop of glue under each wing tip. Glue the feet on.
Hot glue the pom pom onto the ornament. This is the back view. I left the hanger exposed so that we can add a hook if we want to hang it on the tree. But this little guy stands on his own so you can just skip that part and put him on a shelf.
Hot glue the eyes beak, and ribbon scarf onto the penguin. You can also add a ribbon for hanging if you’d like.
Place your cute penguin on the table and watch your toddler squeal and run to it!

Notes

When they are done playing, box it up and save to put on the Christmas tree next year!
