If your kids love Jim Carrey’s new penguin film then they will love these presents
Perhaps it’s the cute waddling walk and happy flapping flippers which make children love penguins so much. The creatures’ appeal means that the new Jim Carrey film, Mr. Popper’s Penguins (UK release date: 5th August 2011), is sure to be a massive hit.
If going to see the film inspires children to fall in love with these fantastic flightless birds then bear in mind that arts and crafts company Baker Ross has lots of penguin and polar-related gifts and sealife crafts.
Mr Popper’s Penguins is based on a 1938 children’s book of the same name written by Richard and Florence Atwater. Jim Carrey plays the divorced Mr. Popper who is mystified when a misunderstanding leads to six penguins appearing on his doorstep.
Only his children’s love of the penguins persuades him to postpone posting the penguins to the local zoo; a decision which affects his negotiations to buy an old restaurant from a kindly elderly woman, and leads to him rekindling his romance with his ex-wife.
Can Mr. Popper juggle his work and family life with looking after a bunch of hungry penguins?
UK places where kids can see penguins
London Zoo is a great place for kids to see penguins. In May 2011 the zoo unveiled the largest penguin pool in the country – one which has underwater viewing areas where you can see the birds swim. As the pool is four times bigger and deeper than the previous pool, the 200 birds there can exhibit more of their natural behaviour. By all accounts they look really happy in their new home!
Edinburgh Zoo is another super place for kids to see Gentoo, Rockhopper and King penguins. Perhaps you will see a little penguin taking its first faltering waddle – the first chicks tend to hatch from late April onwards.
This Scottish zoo has a great Zoo Penguin Cam so you can peek at the penguins whenever you like!
Visits to these zoos give curious kids so many great chances to learn about penguins. Did your children know that:
- Penguins spend about half their lives on land and half in the ocean
- Penguins don’t just pop up in cold places – you’ll find one penguin population living in the Galapagos Islands near the equator
- The biggest penguin is the Emperor Penguin, which can reach a height of 3ft 7in
- The littlest penguin is the Little Blue Penguin, also known as the Fairy Penguin, which only stands 16 inches tall on tiptoes!
Baker Ross’s range of perfect penguin products includes Penguin Bubble Tubs and Polar Pals Gift Bag Craft Kits – bags which are great to make and feature the faces of polar bears, seals and, of course, penguins.
Mix and Match Penguin Decoration Kits, Polar Pals memo pads, mugs and pencil cases are also popular with children going through a polar phase.
Teachers, after-school club organisers and families with young children can use kids’ fascination with fish-loving penguins to teach them about sealife – a subject on the school curriculum.
Baker Ross has some fantastic sealife curriculum crafts including scratch art bookmarks, 3D honeycomb sealife shapes and sealife cushion sewing kits. Mixing art with learning about animals and sealife is always a good idea!
