Penguins are fun to learn about any time of year, but they seem to be an even bigger hit in winter. It must be the snow that makes us love them even more in the winter months! I love learning about penguins with kids, because they are so engaging, and kids often have a lot of misconceptions about them (like the fact that they do NOT live with polar bears). These 27 super cool penguin activities for kids include must-try crafts, printables, and more to add to your lesson plans or penguin units!
