Circle Penguin Craft

Do all 3 year olds love scissors?  My daughter uses them any chance she gets and I remember my son being the same way when he was that age.  It's been a while since we've done a craft, so it seemed like a good time to make something that involved lots of scissors practice.  The circles might have been too challenging though, so we finished this craft "together".
