How to Make a Pinecone Penguin
In a well-ventilated area, spray the pinecone with white spray paint, just to add a bit of white to the edges but not to coat the entire pinecone. Set it aside to dry.
Using a black marker, draw a "v-shape" onto the bead or ball and color it in to create the penguin head. Add two small black circles for the eyes.
Glue the small stick or toothpick below the eyes to create the penguin nose then set this aside.
On a piece of foam paper, draw then cut out two feet.
Glue the now dry pinecone on top of the feet.
Then, glue the feet and the pinecone together onto the top of a wood slice.
Attach the painted, and now dry, bead to the top of the penguin creating the full body.
Cut out two wing shapes from a piece of black felt and glue one on each side of the penguin's body
