Learning Shapes Activity for Preschoolers! Fun with Penguins!

I was searching for some fun, learning activities for my toddler and preschooler to do at home and ran across this super-cute penguin SHAPES activity!  It was fun and the kids got to practice their cutting skills, recognize different shapes, colors and counting!  We also got to talk about where penguins live and what kind of temperatures they need!

SUPPLIES NEEDED:
* scissors
* construction paper
* googly eyes (or you can just use black paper and cut circles)
