Penguins!

January 20th is "Penguin Awareness Day".  To celebrate and increase awareness our children's Do It Yourself table this month will focus on these wonderful southern hemisphere birds!

We have five activities you can do anytime you visit the library this month.

1.  Label the parts of a penguin

2.  Do a penguin word search or maze

3.  Read or look at a book about penguin

4.  Guess how many days it takes an Emperor Penguin egg to hatch

5.  Make your own penguin that tells about you!

What can you tell about me from my penguin glyph above?

Your penguin can be hung up on our Antarctica bulletin board or you can take your penguin home.
