Today’s freebie is a Penguin Bookmark to download for all the books you will be gifting this year. Make sure to print one for yourself, too.
Penguins are so cute and charismatic, naturally they are a favorite among children around the world. Because of their popularity and their tuxedo-like coloring, they’re also a favorite among crocheters. Today we have some adorable penguin amigurumi for your crocheting pleasure. These plush toys also make excellent Christmas gifts or holiday decor. Crochet a penguin ski mask for your little ones for the winter. Decorate your Christmas tree with a penguin butt ornament.
