You are about to see some of the cutest winter Kindergarten and Preschool Penguin Activities ever. Seriously if you are looking for a great unit study or themed learning idea for your kids, I suggest learning about penguins. They are fun and funny. Your children will love waddling around like penguins, eating fish, and crafting. I’m sure of it.

The Best Kindergarten and Preschool Penguin Activities
MY OTHER PROJECTSI fell in love with this book Animal Teachers the minute I opened it and knew I was going to center our monthly themed learning activities around this book. It’s filled with ideas to explore with your kids.
Perfect Winter Preschool Theme
In the forest, in the pond, in caves, prairies, and jungles, in all the world’s outdoor classrooms, baby animals are learning just like our babies. 🙂
Winter Preschool Activity – Walk like a Penguin
Walking like a penguin is a fun activity that the kids love. We used these indoor snowballs to pretend they were Eggs and we protected them while we waddled around like penguins do. A great gross motor activity for your penguin lessons.
* Don’t mind the Jammie pants that’s how we roll 😉
Great Free Printable Penguin Activities
The Safari Toob Penguins are perfect for an object to picture matching. This is a great activity for younger children. You can also use these cards for a fun penguin memory matching game. Click here for instructions and ways to use these cards.
Penguin printable fact cards
The kids love learning all about penguins, so we decided to include these fact cards for you. Leave them loose or ring them together so they can be carried around easier either way, these are packed with information about penguins.
These are the perfect penguins to include with your info cards and matching cards. You can download your set of Penguin printable fact cards below.
Puzzles are great for children to work on eye-hand concentration and fine motor skills. They also are a wonderful self-correcting learning tool. Every child should be able to enjoy puzzles.
This Montessori penguin puzzle goes perfectly with any penguin theme.
One thing I love about Homeschooling is getting all of my children involved no matter their age. Notebooking pages are my go-to for notebooking printables for the boys. They have thousands of ideas, maps, coloring pages, and more. This Antarctic Map and Penguin page were perfect to add to our lessons.

I really love this idea! My brother loves penguins and the kids are excited to surprise him next time with penguin facts. However I’m having trouble getting the fact cards. Are you able to email them?
I tried e-mailing them to you but it says the e-mail address is wrong. If you can send me your e-mail I’m happy to send them to you.
Would it be possible to email them to me too? equusbeth at gmail dot com
My daughter is having a penguin birthday party and wants to give each guest a penguin from the toob with an information card about that penguin. These would be perfect! Thank you!
Of course 🙂 I’ll send them now. Happy Birthday to your daughter
I should take a look on the Animal Teachers, looks interesting. And I love the fact cards that you included in the post. Will be using it when Vito is older. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Jae
So many fun penguin ideas! I love this unit study and I’m excited to check out the animal teachers book. I also love the note booking pages.
Thank you
So many wonderful activities! My daughter adores penguins and also loves walking like one. I think we will make your cute penguin craft this week. Thanks for the idea!
Such fun activities! I love that you included what you do with all of your kiddos, the younger ones and the older ones. Thanks for the reminder about the penguin puzzle! I need to get one of those for Sunshine.
We love learning about penguins! They are such wonderful creatures! Thanks for sharing such great activities and printables. They’re awesome!
Thank you so much
It sure is wonderful that you are able to use one theme with multiple aged kids 🙂 That sure is a great aspect of homeschooling! I’m really looking forward to that as our little one gets older and starts getting involved in school activities, too.
I really loved that walking like a penguin activity – so cute and always fun to get movement involved!
Thank you Yuliya. I agree getting kids moving is so important
