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
I 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.

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. 🙂
Preschool Activities – 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 as penguins do. A great gross motor activity for your penguin lessons.
* Don’t mind the Jammie pants that’s how we homeschool.
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.

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!

January 18, 2017 at 9:12 amIt 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!
