From YouTube: Snook Penguin model with Charminster Library

Description

In today's video, Charminster library show you how to make a model of Snook the penguin from the Silly Squad.

A

Today's craft is going to be the roly-poly penguin model and he's quite a relaxed little guy. Here, leans back, that's purposeful, um so you get to fund lots of little fiddly things to um to have fun, cutting out and coloring and putting together. So we've added a few little things to make him look like the silly squad, penguin character that you might recognize if you've joined the city squad reading game.

A

The first thing that we do I'll put them to one side is: you will need the black black sheet of a4 paper and then lots of just odd little bits of white paper. Colored paper, some eyes and everything else, just really straightforward. So take I've drawn this out on a white piece of a4 because clearly you're not gonna, see it if it's drawn onto black.

A

So you need to mark your black piece of a4 paper at six centimeters strip, and then you want another six centimeter strip, so cut the six and then another six across and the first one you're just going to mark and score with your ruler and pencil at six centimeters.

A

Then at 12, then at 24, and that will give you this long piece here and it's all folded.

A

So you have a nice overlap and there's your your penguin body there looking quite relaxed and then your second strip of paper you're, going to leave it six centimeters wide by 20, centimeters long and just cut that bit. And that gives you this bit, which is going to form the head, because it's all made I'm just rolling pieces of paper.

A

So a bit easier to see on there we're going to stick this together. First.

A

So that's our body and this one you're just going to stick a little bit on the end, to put an overlap like this and then stick that to the top.

A

Okay and that's basis of your penguin, so now you get fun of choosing all the little bits to add to it. uh So the first thing we're going to start with, is take the tummy and decorate that so one of the easiest ways to do that. If you draw a little rectangle, this is five by seven centimeters.

A

To give you an idea, so it's not too big and then you're just going to draw um this sort of oval shape inside of it and then um our little one on the silly squad has a blue swimsuit on. So you might want to just draw some lines here just to color in those.

A

And then you just cut that oval shape.

A

That's on the there.

A

It's always useful to have a scrap piece of paper as your glue sheet, so any excess glue goes onto there stops your tables getting covered and throw it away afterwards. So that's tommy, then the wings.

A

So again I'll show you on a piece of white paper here so just draw out the wing shape and um if you draw this onto black- and these are things if you fold the paper in half and then you can just cut through two layers at once, and then you just need to draw out a little inner area of the wing and that's going to be on just a piece of white scrap paper.

A

Maybe what's left over from from something the tummy section, so take your wings, make sure you get them in the right direction, all right and stick the white bits here in the side and just fold back a little area to be your tabs and you can just stick those coming out of the body there.

A

Like that, okay, now this is a nice loose small.

A

Next thing is uh our little character has a little little um head feathers there so again draw this on black paper and remember to leave a little tab that you can attach it with. So that's what I've done here just cut that out any shape at all, really there and um just stick that to the top, just like that: okay yeah! So it's got those!

A

uh Then you want some eyes which uh again, if you've got googly eyes at home, so you can stick those with some wet glue or you might have some stickers like I do here or you could just use some white sticker and draw on and then cut round. So you want to do the eyes, then. Obviously we need a beak. So you need some orange orange paper here or if you don't, if you don't have any of these, you can always just color with some wax crayons.

A

It's the easy way to do it so you're going to draw a diamond.

A

And then just fold, the diamond in half and you just put glue on one half of.

A

Let's it that, on there.

A

You can make this out of yellow as well, if that's easier, and then these two little feet so again use those on some yellow or some orange you've got.

A

I'm going to stick those so they're just poking out.

A

A

A couple of the options we have here now are: uh we have a beach ball here. We are because again, our silly squad- lovely penguin, has a beach ball to play with when he's on the beach. So just draw around a little inside of a small sellotape holder, looking to draw a circle and put some little markings in here.

A

A

That that doesn't matter, if you color outside the lines when you're going to cut it out, so I make no difference at all.

A

A lot messier and go a lot quicker.

A

Okay and we're just going to tuck that underneath.

A

Wow and then another option is a little hat here to match his swimming costume so to make the hat just draw a line here um in particular length just a bit longer really than your head. There remember to add a little tab to the bottom, otherwise you've got nothing to attach it with and then inside of that. Okay, let's see easier, I'm just going to draw those two lines together by centimeter up just draw that across like that and then okay elongated rectangle to there and it's a nice little ribbon on his hat.

A

So that's your hat drawn out there color in that band. Obviously you can color all of it. If you'd like.

A

All the lines when you're cutting out makes that a lot quicker.

A

So just remember: when you cut it make sure you cut the tab, otherwise you've got nothing to stick it on.

A

With hold your little tab back and we're going to stick it on there.

A

Your little penguin, it's almost done, all we need to do is stick it to a bit of cardboard um as a base, making just a little bit sturdier stick over the top.

A

A

And then it's all very relaxed.

A

With your wobbly penguin here there we go, hopefully he's gonna have as much fun at the beach as you might do. This summer. There we go.
