Penguin Poop is an easy Christmas craft project, and one that I think will appeal to kids. These bags of penguin poop are part of my inventory that I’ll be showing at a craft sale on November 23.
I got the idea from Kerry’s Paper Crafts blog. Kerry made Pumpkin Poop. I changed things a bit.
The poem, modified from Kerry’s, reads:
I caught a little penguin
With a rope tied in a loop
It must have really scared him
‘Cause he made this penguin poop.
The penguin is a stamp from Hampton Art. Its heat embossed with black pigment ink and clear embossing powder, then colored with markers.
I cut the offset circle with the Cricut Machine (It’s the O in the George cartridge) and the flower is one of the shapes in the Cricut garden cartridge.
Amazon carries the Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter with 2 Cartridges but ships only to the US. If at all possible, I recommend getting this product from a local craft shop. They are usually great about providing customer support and this machine can be challenging to set up. I bought mine at Michaels and lived to regret it.
The tags are tied to the bag with a twist tie and some fiber. They can be used as bookmarks after.
These are easy enough to do, and obviously, they are not limited to Christmas or holiday craft projects. I can see Bunny Poop for Easter, Cupid Poop for Valentines Day, Pumpkin Poop for Halloween as Kerry did, etc. Here’s another thought. If your community has a mascot or a theme, Your Mascot Poop would be fun. For example, Harrison Hot Springs, a couple of hours east of Vancouver, has a Sasquatch mascot. Apparently there are a lot of Sasquatch sitings in the area.
Sasquatch Poop would be fun!
Is it any wonder I love crafting!
