Watch the following videos to learn more about Little Penguins in Australia and the Little Penguins and Maremma dogs on Middle Island.
Create your very own Little Penguin using what you have learnt about them.
Use some dark blue/black and white play dough/plasticine to make a model of a Little Penguin (if you only have other colours, that is ok). An alternative could be to make it out of paper, cardboard, toilet roll or paper cups (as long as it stands up by itself).
Below are some ideas for creating your penguin.
The Little Penguins on Middle Island are navy blue in colour and do not have orange beaks or feet.
*We would love to see your Little Penguins! Please send a photo to your teacher.
