This cute penguin bookmark is an adorable way to mark your place in your favourite book!

Items you will need

  • Black A4 paper or origami square paper
  • White Paper
  • Orange paper
  • Googly Eyes
  • Glue stick

Instructions

Fold your paper to create a square, then fold it into a triangle. Fold each corner up to the middle then open out again

Fold the top corner down , then tuck each corner inside this fold

Now glue on some googly eyes, or make your own from white paper. Cut a square from white paper the same size as your black square

Create a white panel to give the illusion of wings and glue it in. Cut a triangle from orange paper for a beak and glue it in.

Now time to find a story , and mark your favourite page.
