Free Patterns for Crafting Penguin Perler Bead Artworks (Over 35 Designs)
Whoa, penguin crafting sesh, y'all! These penguin Perler beads are total fun if you're into this feathered friend from the southern hemisphere.
I freakin' love doing crafty stuff on this blog. You know why? Cause I'm obsessed with researching these little critters when they pop up anyhow.
Like, what's the count on these penguin bros? Where do they chill? What's their menu? What's their incubation timeline? It's like I'm writing an excessive book report for the extra credit I never needed in school. Guess who was one of those nerdy kids? Oh, right, this 46-year-old adult version of me still is.
Anyways, this week's schooling subject: the cool as a cucumber penguin. We whipped up some perler bead penguins for some winter-time fun and lemme tell ya, I've picked up some keen facts.
Ready to get schooled? Here are five wet-feathered facts about the penguin:
Fact One: There are 18 species of penguins, ranging from the teeny tiny Little Blue Penguin standing around 13 inches tall to the regal Emperor Penguin standing a skyscraper 45 inches tall. I had no clue penguins were that freakin' tall!
Fact Two: Using their flippers for propulsion and their feet and tail for steering, some species can reach speeds of up to 22 miles per hour in the water. That's pretty quick, buddy!
Fact Three: Emperor penguins, that can deal with the frigid cold like no other, can survive the downright brutal Antarctic winter where temperatures plunge to a bone-chilling -76 degrees Fahrenheit (-60 C).
Fact Four: They spend up to 75% of their time at sea. Their eyesight kicks goals, adapting to see both above and below the H2O. I thought it was more of a 50/50 split between land and sea!
Fact Five: Most penguin species are monogamous, often returning to the same partner each year for breeding. Emperor Penguins are famous for their dedication, outdoing humans with their paternal bonding because the males hop on the egg and keep it cozy (um, kind of like how dad happily changes diapers, right?)
Hope these facts help show the penguin is as diverse and fascinating as we know they are! Now if you're ready to try out these penguin perler beads...
Remember that perler beads are recommended for kiddos aged six and up, so this is a nice activity for doing with your little ones. They love 'em just as much as grownups do!
Penguin Perler Beads
Check out these tips when making your cool penguin patterns:
- A few of these patterns are larger than a 29 x 29 pegboard, so you'll need either an oversized pegboard (49 x 69 tall) or to combine multiple square pegboards to form a larger canvas.
- In addition to square pegboards, you'll also find round and hexagon pegboards lurking around. These are handy to have when doing a ton of perler-ing.
- You'll notice that some pattern backgrounds aren't white. It's only to give contrast so you can see where all the white beads should go. You can add the background if you feel like it, but it's not necessary.
- Don't limit yourself to the suggested colors. Change things up with your fave color beads!
