Step 2.Next, we will start to make the features of our penguin.
To do this, fold a piece of orange paper in half and draw a triangular beak shape.
Then, cut out your beak.
Step 3.The next step is to make the wings.
Draw them on your black construction paper and cut them out.
Step 4.Next are the eyes and cheeks.
These will be drawn directly onto your penguin.
Use your black marker to draw some round eyes.
Then, use your pink marker to add some rosy cheeks.
Step 5.Now, grab your orange beak that you have already cut out.
Glue it onto your penguin.
Step 6.Now, get your paper cup.
Use your craft knife to cut the bottom/base of the cup out completely.
Step 7.Next, take your balloon and tie a knot at the end.
Cut off the rounded end.
Step 8.Turn the cup upside down so that the hole you made with your craft knife is facing up.
Add double-sided tape in a few places around the rim.
Step 9.Stretch the balloon over the rim of the base.
It should stay in place, especially since you have already reinforced it with the double-sided tape.
Step 10.Now, use your glue to attach your penguin body to the cup.
Step 11.Glue the wings on either side of the cup.
Step 12.Finally, add your pom poms into the cup.
Your penguin popper is ready!
To use it, pull back the knot of the balloon and shoot the pom poms out.
Have fun and enjoy!
