Let’s Explore Penguins ~ A Penguin Unit Study for Kids

Are you planning a penguin unit study? Let’s Explore Penguins will be a great addition! In this subscriber freebie, your student will learn facts about penguins, where penguins live, their sizes, and more! Kids will also be able to record their research about penguins on a special notebooking page for each penguin featuring a photograph of the penguin!

Penguins are fascinating animals and while preparing this resource I learned so much. Many are familiar with Emperor penguins, and a few other types of penguins, but are you familiar with all 17 types? Did you know that some scientists even disagree about how many types of penguins there are?  

Interest in Penguins?

In our homeschool, I have always loved simple and direct learning that is curiosity-based and not filled with busy work. I don’t print worksheets just to have something for my kids to do. If I print it, it’s for a reason. When I create new printables, I always keep this goal in mind and keep things as simple as possible. The lesson that you develop as a homeschooler will be filled with more than just what you’ll find here. I assume you are here on my blog, visiting this post because your child is interested in learning about penguins and maybe you searched online to find resources for creating a penguin unit study. I have yet to meet a kid who isn’t interested in penguins but have met many who are VERY interested in penguins. If your child has a high interest, you can expand this penguin-themed unit for weeks with tons of penguin crafts, penguin activities, penguin books, and penguin learning fun! Hopefully, this penguin resource will give you a great place to begin!

Penguin Books

You’ll definitely need to check out some penguin books from the library or buy some from Amazon to add to your kids’ book collection. I have created an extensive list featuring books about penguins that your child can learn from. 

If you’re feeling super sweet, grab some tiny penguin toys so your child has little penguins to explore with!

Penguin Sensory Play

Feeling SUPER sweet, create a penguin sensory bin, even older kids get into these! An Antarctica sensory bin with tiny penguins? Yes, please!

A few I found online:

  • Penguin Sensory Table from Happy Hearts Blooming Brains
  • Penguin Ice Play from Toddler Approved
  • Penguin Sensory Play from Fantastic Fun & Learning
  • Antarctic Sensory Bin from Living Montessori Now

Let’s Explore Penguins

What’s Included?

Let’s Explore Penguins includes a cover page in case you’d like to create a notebook {either using a binder with an option to insert a cover or by binding the pages with a binding machine}.

Penguin Information Sheets

In addition to the penguin books you add to this study, you’ll find a few printables included to add to your child’s research. I created these pages to insert at the beginning of your notebook as simple reference guides,

  • Penguin Facts
  • Types of Penguins
  • Sizes of Penguins
  • Locations of Penguins

Penguin Notebooking Pages

The core of this printable unit study is the individual pages for each penguin. You’ll find 17 different pages each featuring the following

  • Name of penguin
  • Latin name of penguin
  • photograph of penguin
  • Recording lines for your child to write in the type, height, weight, location, diet, and features
  • World map for your child to record where this particular penguin lives.

I turned 47 last week and we celebrated tonight wi I turned 47 last week and we celebrated tonight with my parents! Fun evening out to eat sushi together and then to my parent’s house for some fun birthday gifts - mostly cat stuff!!! ❤️😻❤️ It’s not often all three kids can be in the same place like this so we grabbed some pictures! So thankful for my people!

Remember when I mentioned that Pebbles liked Mabel Remember when I mentioned that Pebbles liked Mabel and that’s one of the main reasons Mabel became a forever family member? Here’s the proof. How cute are they?

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, Mabel is In case you haven’t figured it out yet, Mabel is a forever member of our family. ❤️ Yes, we are crazy, but we are OK with that!

Mabel brings so much joy and fits so perfectly in addition to being one of the most beautiful kittens ever. She is technically my daughter’s cat, she matches her short hair calico - Pebbles, and this is the only kitten Pebbles has ever liked and accepted. That’s one of the main reasons she’s staying. Mabel and Pebbles both sleep in Lili’s room and get along fabulously. We never thought Lili would ever be able to get another cat because Pebbles is very possessive of Lili, but then Mabel came along and shocked us all! We knew we had a special kitten when Pebbles liked her!

Mabel gets along with our other cats and our dogs too, and she is super brave, friendly, playful, and snuggly. It was impossible to even imagine her ever leaving our home. Her staying was a family decision, actually led by my husband! We enjoy our kitties so much.
This is Sarah - my bonus daughter - and her new hu This is Sarah - my bonus daughter - and her new husband Jake. And their new son - Dipper!!! We have had Dipper here an extra long time until they could get down here to pick him up from PA! I am SO excited for them, he is the perfect cat and will be so spoiled! His name may be changed, but for now he’s still Dipper! 

For those of you who have been around awhile, she’s part of the “Philly friends” family who come to visit several times a year. ❤️

We are busy with so much right now, most importantly final prep to leave for nationals in Arizona tomorrow! This past weekend he was presented with an award from his coach(with him in this pic) - Athlete of the Year, which is really special. He heads to nationals tomorrow in good shape, feeling confident! 

@kyler_hinson I am so proud of you for so many reasons! Seeing you fight so hard through continual pain the past few years has shown such a strength of character, determination, dedication, and perseverance. I love the man you are becoming and am so thankful to be your mom. 

We have a fun week ahead of us and I’m so excited to be by your side. ❤️ #krashthegymnast

Lives on his own, with an AMAZING job, managing adult-ing beautifully, constantly making me smile when I think of his perseverance, determination, commitment, and ambition. I can’t put into words how proud I am of this man of mine. My son, my baby.

Happy birthday @paxtoroni ❤️ I pray you know how loved you are.

Mabel (calico, girl)
Dipper (white/gray, boy)
Soos (tabby, boy)

They are so adorable and came at the perfect time to bring healing after we lost Bruno. ❤️

My guess is about 5-6 weeks old, and they will probably be in foster for about a month, the smallest weighing 1 pound, 3 ounces. 

The look like little dust bunnies flopping around the room, they are so round and fluffy!

Our youngest child is 13. I’m not sure how that Our youngest child is 13. I’m not sure how that happened. We celebrated Lili today with our best friends from Philadelphia here to visit for the weekend! She opened her presents from us, and loved on our new fluffy foster kittens. Her wish was to foster a fluffy set of kittens and that wish came true yesterday!

So thankful for this awesome kid of mine. She is such a blessing to me and inspires me continually. She is strong, compassionate, brave, unique, artistically talented beyond belief, and I just love being her mom.
8 weeks old today!!! We are in the final countdown 8 weeks old today!!! We are in the final countdown of our time together! 

Bruno and Camilo are both snuggle bugs and love to curl up on laps, or up by my chin. They both love to play hard and they still love momma’s milkies (especially Bruno). Camilo is a round plump potato weighing 1 lb, 13 ounces. Bruno is a bit skinnier (1 lb, 9.5 ounces) because he’s been having some tummy issues but he’s doing better. They won’t leave me until both are 2 lbs and 100% healthy. I’m assuming a little over a week from now.
