I read a story about the penguins of New Zealand that were sick from the oil spill. Knitters around the world made cute little sweaters for the penguins to keep them warm after they were cleaned of the oil and it helped to keep them from picking at their feathers and getting sick from ingesting the oil. This inspired a fun project. The 3rd graders made a penguin then weaved yarn in the slots on the side to make a cute red sweater.
