Penguin Felt Critter



The children and I are working on a lapbook on
penguins. I made these adorable penguins for my son
for Christmas. They were very simple to make. I drew the
pattern myself. As you can see beside my finished pengins
I drew the shape of my penguins body. Then I cut
it out of felt and sewed the sides together with a bright
colored embroidery theard. I dont sew well so figured that
I might as well go bold. Before sewing the bodies together
you will want to sew the white oval shape in place. You
also want to sew his triangle orange beak. You can add 
eyes by sewing them in . I dont have the term for the
stitch as this isnt something I am good at but just kept looping
the yarn around to fill in an eye shape.  Then you can
add some stuffing to your penguin and sew him shut.
I then sewed together two triangles for feet and attached
them to the penguin. The wings are felt cut into a half oval
shape and sewed on. My son really enjoys playing with these.
