Magic Marker Monday — Puff Ball Penguins…

Another quickie dollar store craft that kept my kiddos busy and giggling for a good hour!

All you need is a wooden penguin form and a mixed bag of black and white pom-poms from the dollar store or a craft store — plus glue, googly eyes and yellow felt.

Now if I could just keep them busy long enough to get my Christmas wrapping done.

Perhaps I could just have them glue random pom-poms on all the boxes?

Two birds with one stone…
