Antarctic Quest-Black Penguin

Hello everyone! I'm glad to find you here. Today, we have such a cute and amusing task whom I added a bit of an educational note because we need to know some basic information about the issue. So, let me start a little before the beginning in order to get to the main task. We'll talk about Antarctic. It is a continental area that encompasses the South Pole and thus it is the coldest area covered by ice. Temperatures are very low and drop under -50 degree especially in winter although in the summer season temperatures are low too, due to the ice sheet which repels the sun's rays and prevents ice to melt. In such harsh conditions, humans cannot live and that is why this place is not inhabited, but it still remains a very interesting research area with large number of research stations located there in order to reveal all the secrets hidden under and above the ice. What is known for sure is that 20 species of birds live there, of which 17 are penguins. They are the subject of our interest today. Penguins, the sweetest among the birds, although you know that they can't fly.

Their wings have been transformed into fins to make swimming easier. Penguins are great swimmers, but even better skaters when they come out of the water into the snow. Because of all their characteristics, they are the most resilient creatures on the planet, considering that they have adapted to the harshest climate in Antarctica. Because of all this penguins are fascinating to me and I often like to watch documentaries or listen something about them. Also, I found my self very often to draw them. They are easy to draw. Everyone can draw them just you need to put in a little bit of an effort. Also, lately I like to make penguins using Plasticine. My son loves it too, so very often we decide to make penguins in various shapes and colors. It's too much fun. You can try it for yourself. Here you may see how can you make cute penguin from Antarctic with play-doh.

First, you need to have play doh set for this purpose. You can use several colors by your choice. I select black color for my black penguin. And, it is time to start.

So far, we have shaped penguin's body and head.

Next step is to put eyes, mouth and feet for the penguin.

After assembling the head with the body and putting on the fins, you will get a cute penguin that you made with your own abilities. Well done!

Penguin Hand Made

There isn't more perfect and stronger bond than the bond between children and toys. It is an unbreakable chain of two compatible things that one does not go without the other. In the first few years of life, best called-childhood, it is unthinkable to pass without toys. There are toys whenever there are children around. So, they are created according to the child's gender and as well, the age. Female children have always loved dolls no matter of their forms and sizes. Doll is the queen toy for girls all around the world. For boys, that universal toy is car, all kind of cars. And that way of children's play and entertainment lasts almost always up to three years. After this age, children want bigger and more meaningful games and, accordingly, such toys are for ages 3+. Here are included different sets of board games, educational or games that encourage logical thinking in children. Also, in this age kids like to do crafts as well as modeling. These are very interesting play sets where children can express their creativity because they are asked to do something, create, assemble, paste, cut and so on. Today, I would like to talk about a set for play-doh modeling that carries the 3+ label. It is a set of several bins with different colors of play doh. It can also contain different modeling shapes, roller for easier dough shaping and various tools that help in modeling dough.

Sometimes you are given a task for how can you make a figure of something or you are allowed to use your imagination and do whatever you want. For starters, you may buy any modeling play set, unpack it and run into a great creative adventure. Everything you do initially, will definitely be a challenge for the next step. Be sure to involve your child in the process and make him try to repeat your actions. You will quickly occupy his attention especially if he meet with this set for the first time. Kid will surely want to try to do something with dough. And, that is great, because modeling shapes is good for many things that stimulate children's development. The first benefit is the impact of motor skills that are involved at the beginning of any modeling. It takes fine movements to make an object and that why is so positive for kid to play with dough. The next is creativity. Through modeling many objects, imagination and logical thinking of kids, develop. So don’t wait any longer, go to get a colorful modeling set. For this purpose, I decided to make a little cute penguin and through a few pictures I will show you how can you do it, too.

Just follow these few steps through pictures, and I'm sure that you can make modeling of a cute little penguin. First, make a shape for its body and then put it eyes, nous and wings.

At the end, you will have adorable penguin made it by your own hands and it will be perfect, because you made it with your kid's help. And, that is just inestimable!
