Penguin Week Activities - Outside

Today was Penguin Day! So we celebrated inside and out (because how often is it sunny in the northwest in January!?).  

Penguin Obstacle Race:

Penguins "toboggan" (slide on their bellies on scooters) using their flippers (hands) to catch fish.

 Some of my penguins put these dirty dirty "fish" (cones) in their "beaks", but most just used their hands to bring them home to the chicks.

My little Penguins then "Penguin Hopped" across the South Pole, and then waddled back to their chicks, who were anxiously awaiting their turn on the fence.

We also did some "Penguin Slides" and "Belly Crawls" in gymnastics earlier on in the week, but this is super easy to recreate and even do indoors (hmmm....maybe).
