Step by step craft instructions

Step 1: Gather your supplies and watch the tutorial (video).

Step 2: Take your potato and a cutting board and cut your potato in half (long side), I highly recommend help your child cutting. Make sure it’s a nice clean cut for the stamp to work.

Step 3: Take a bottle lid and push your lid in the potato to mark a circle mark. About 1 cm (1/2 inch) from the bottom. We push the lid halfway in, then take out the bottle lid and carve out the circle that’s left.

Step 4: Paint your potato black

Step 5: Make a stamp on your white page make sure your press down your potatoes for at least 20 seconds (also the sides).

Step 6: Let your potato stamp dry.

Step 7: Take an orange paint marker and paint a beak and the feed. With a black marker you draw to flippers and if you like you can give the penguin a little bit hair.

Step 8: You can cut the background in a square a cut around the edges of the penguin, it looks nice if you leave a white edge.

Step 9: Give your penguins a pair of googly eyes.

Step 10: Great job, your name tags are all finished. It’s time to write the name and start decorating those Christmas presents.
