Easy Oreo Penguins


These cute and easy penguins are perfect for a class party, family or church gathering.  

What you'll need:
  • Oreos 
  • Mini-Oreos or Bite Sized Oreos (for the head)
  • Fruit roll-ups (for the scarf)
  • Orange Tick-tacks (for the beak)
  • Round Sprinkles (the ones here are called "Edible Confetti" but really any round cake sprinkle will do for the eyes)
  • White frosting

Before:
  • Take several quart sized freezer bags and put several spoon fulls of frosting in each one.  Cut a tiny piece of one corner to make a several frosting dispensers (so easy, you just throw the whole bag away when you're done).  
  • Unrolled the Fruit Roll-ups and cut them with clean scissors into thin strips, leaving the plastic backing in place. 
  • Put all the various ingredients into bowls. 

Instructions
  • Take one Oreo and unscrew it.  The half that got the cream will be your main body. The half without the cream will become the wings. 
  • Break the cookie without the cream in half. These are your wings.  
  • Using the cream as glue, press the wings down firmly into place, taking care not to break the cookie.
  • Take a mini-Oreo and unscrew it.  We are going to use the half that got the cream, discard/eat the other half.   
  • Cream side down, press the mini-Oreo into place as the head. Cream to cream should 'glue' it into place.
  • With frosting, make dots for eyes and beak.
  • Place round sprinkles for eyes, and a Tick-Tac for the beak. 
  • Select a scarf and peal of the plastic backing.  Wrap the scarf around the penguin.


Here are some my daughter's 5th grade class made.
