Christmas Penguin Decorations

If you are hosting a gathering for Christmas, or just want your whole home to have that Christmas spirit, you can use your penguin coloring pages to help you decorate. This is a great activity for kids to help out with. And it’s easy too! Let them color whatever penguin coloring pages they like best. Then hang the creations on the fridge, on a tack board in a child’s bedroom, or even in the living room. You can get a simple frame if you want to be fancy, or maybe build a scrapbook with your kids to remember this special bonding activity. They’ll only be this young once.

Easy Penguin Coloring Activity for School or Home

It’s that time of the year. Kids are thinking about presents under the tree instead of their schoolwork. That’s not a problem if you have these penguin coloring pages to work with. Add them to a lesson about spelling (penguin is a tricky word) or another related topic. You could combine this activity with something like a winter word search if you want to lean into the spelling lesson.

These aren’t just great for teachers. A lot of kids are home for the holidays. Make sure they don’t miss out on continuing to learn just because of a holiday break. Parents can color with their children to help reinforce lessons from school.

Penguin Ornaments for the Tree

Making your own Christmas ornaments is a great way to get your kids involved in the holiday decorating preparations. It’ll give them something to do and help them feel like part of the process. They’ll be so proud when they see their very own ornaments hanging on the tree.

There are a lot of ways to make your own DIY Christmas ornaments. But if you want to use penguin coloring pages in particular, it’s super easy. Simply color in your coloring pages, then cut out the parts you want (probably the penguins themselves). You should attach them to cardstock to give a more sturdy backing and punch a hole through them so you can thread ribbon through. Don’t forget to add a layer of something like Mod Podge to seal your artwork and help it last longer.

And you don’t need to stop at penguins. Decorate your tree with your own snowmen, snowflakes, and other winter-themed ornaments with our free winter coloring pages.
