Maddy was studying penguins at school this week and one of her homework assignments was to create a full scale model of a King Penguin. It could be drawn, sewn, molded out of paper mache... anything she wanted. Maddy & I thought of feathers! We picked up a few supplies and this is what we came up with. Maddy's penguin has a black felt head & fins, a white feather belly and one button for his eye. Maddy also had to write a small report about her penguin. We learned some interesting facts... here they are in her words.
"King Penguins are 3 feet tall. They weigh 24 to 35 pounds. They live on islands near Antartica. King Penguins can dive 350 feet deep to find food. They eat squid and fish. They have orange ear patches and a orange beak."
Yesterday, after Maddy and her classmates presented their penguins in class they were displayed in the Media Center for the whole school to see. Great job Honey!

Wow, I had no idea that they were able to dive that deep for food! Thanks for teaching you're old Auntie something, Maddy!
