Penny is the penguin on our logo, and these pancakes are how she shows up at our breakfast table. Kids love building the face, and every penguin comes out a little different, which is half the fun.
Learning on the side: counting the eyes, feet and chips, talking about shapes (circles for the body, a triangle for the beak), and how many pieces you need for four penguins before you start.

Steps
Kids a child can do this step Grown-up hot, sharp or tricky
- Grown-up Warm the frozen pancakes in the toaster or microwave, following the package.
- Kids Spread chocolate on 4 of the pancakes. These are Penny's dark bodies.
- Kids Lay a plain pancake on the lower half of each chocolate one to make the white tummy. If your pancakes are all the same size, press a cup into the plain ones to cut smaller circles.
- Kids Add two banana slices for eyes with a chocolate chip in each.
- Grown-up Cut the strawberries: a small triangle for each beak and two halves for the feet. Then say good morning to Penny.
