Geometric shapes in Penguins

TOO MUCH FUN!  I totally loved this project with Kindergarten this year....  I did get the idea off of someone's blogspot...  but I cannot remember who's...  My apologies for not writing it down!  One of my favorite blog's is:  artiswhatiteach.blogspot.com.... 
I had the kids use simple geometric shapes to make these penguins!  An upside down "U" for the penguin body, a smaller one for the white parts of the body, circles, triangles, ovals, and rectangles make up the rest of the body!
For the snowflakes in the background, we used scrap pieces of cardboard dipped in white paint to make the beautiful prints.  I teach them to make the letter "x" with a "t" and that will give them a snowflake shape.
