Otto the penguin

Here's how to talk to your child about it

You learned about penguins in Antarctica. They lay eggs and slide on their bellies. They eat fish and have feathers to keep them warm.
Some activities you can do with your child now

- Talk to your child about the different animals they saw in the video, like penguins and pigwoods. - Ask your child what they think it would be like to live in Antarctica and discuss the cold weather and how penguins stay warm. - Encourage your child to use their imagination and pretend to be a penguin, sliding on their belly like Otto. - Have a pretend play activity where your child takes care of a stuffed animal or doll like Jasmine took care of Otto's egg.
Pretend play with your child
