DOWNLOAD MY ACTIVITY: How to make your own penguin

Hey there – I’m Riley. Where other people see junk, I see treasure – clean cardboard, egg boxes, straws and empty plastic bottles – then I turn them into amazing creations. This is called junk modelling!

I present my latest masterpiece: Rocky the dragon! Do you like him? I’m really proud of him.

I usually make my models in my bedroom. It’s relaxing. Sometimes I listen to audiobooks at the same time. I love adventure and fantasy stories the most.

Want to have a go at junk modelling, too? I’ll help you make your own penguin using things you can find around your home (or school, or the library!) Have a look…
