Thank you for downloading this paper craft model of the Yellow-eyed penguin.
By matching the names and numbered parts in the instructions, you and your family
can complete a paper craft model of this rare and beautiful animal.
Assembly instructions: Nine A4-sized sheets.
Paper craft: Two A4-sized sheets with 9 parts in all
These instructions apply only to the "Yellow-eyed penguin".
These Paper Craft parts are easier to work with when printed out on strong,
thick paper (like postcard stock).
*In creating these Paper Craft models we use 135kg Kent paper stock (0.18mm).

Items of Caution
*Take care when using sharp or pointed objects or when
using bladed cutting tools. Place a heavy sheet of paper
under the paper you want to cut.
*Use glue and other adhesives only in well-ventilated
areas.
*When printing, use a slightly reduced font size. There
may be differences in dimensions, depending on the type
of printer used.
Tools and materials needed
-Ruler -scissors - blade cutter or "Exacto-knife" - awl or
other pointed tool (for making a folding crease) - felt pen
- pin set - glue - hand towel ( for cleaning your fingers) -
dictionary or other heavy book ( to press the papers flat).
*Cut carefully with cutting blade, Exacto-knife or
scissors.
*For folding parts, first use an awl or other pointed
tool to make a light crease along the dotted or solid
line. This will make the folds straight. Avoid making
strong creases, as this will cause the paper to tear.
*As an adhesive, white wood glue is recommended.
Avoid over application as this will cause the paper
to wrinkle.
*Before beginning assembly, test adhesive amounts
on extra paper.
*Occasionally, white spots will be apparent on folds
and cuts. Use a marker or pencil to fill in these spots.
It is recommended that this be done after each stage
of assembly because coloring becomes more diffi-
cult once parts are assembled.

Rare Animals of the World - Yellow-eyed Penguin
"Kigashira Penguin" means "yellow-headed penguin," due to its yel-
lowish feather crests with reddish marks on the sides of its head. The
yellow-eyed penguin exhibits a pinkish color at the tip of the beak
and legs.The yellow-eyed penguin is also distinguished from other
penguin species by its home environment. Although it lives in the
ocean like other penguins, it makes its nest in the woods or bush areas
rather than on the seashore. The creature remains in the forest during
the daytime and goes to the sea after sunset to hunt fish. The habitat
of the yellow-eyed penguin is limited to southeastern New Zealand
and its surrounding islands. Due to deforestation for agricultural land
and ranches, the species has greatly diminished in number over the
years, but now it seems that conservation efforts have hailed the deple-
tion of the population.
