    Hi. I am making the Mr. Popper’s Penguins Notebook. I was wondering where you got the paper with (pg. 2) the color by numbers penguins, where you got the where do penguins live paper (pg. 4), and the information on pages 7 & 8.

    Thanks.

    Hi Mindie!

    I believe all of those came from the Make and Learn Penguins book. Currclick used to sell it, but they no longer do. You can find it at Scholastic’s online teacher store: http://teacherexpress.scholastic.com/easy-make-learn-projects-penguins

    I hope that helps! Have fun! 🙂 Ami

    I love your book about penguins! My question is how did you make it with your students? Did you assign one page to each student to work independently?

    Thanks!

    This is amazing! What age range was the child that created this?
