Looking for a crafty way to check your students’ subtraction skills? You need our adorable Penguin Subtraction craft!

Students will love the process of creating a peckish penguin filled with colourful tissue paper fish! No tissue paper in your craft cupboard? No worries! We have also included printable fish.

In addition to practising key subtraction concepts, this hands-on activity allows students to practise their fine motor skills as they make and glue their collection of fish to their penguin template. Once their penguins have all been assembled and glued, students can record the subtraction problem on the handy sentence prompt.

In addition to detailed instructions and an adorable display banner, this resource includes two options to suit the needs of your class:

1. A crafty cut and paste option with a backing template.
2. A worksheet option that is ready to have fish glued on it.

Top Teacher Tips:

1. For a pop of colour, print the backing templates on coloured card.
2. Enlarge the penguin templates to A3 and have students paint them prior to adding their fish.
3. Print and assemble our Penguin Subtraction banner to create a beautiful display of your students completed crafts!
