The little penguin is the smallest species of penguin. They’re camoflagued in water by their blue–grey colour and white underbelly. They keep themselves warm and waterproof by rubbing their feathers with an oily liquid from their tails. Have fun building this little penguin kit using LEGO pieces!

You are a deep ocean explorer, and you’ve discovered a creature never seen before. It looks unusual, because it has adapted to the extreme cold. For your chance to win one of five kits, describe the adaptation you’ve observed in your imaginary creature.

The Noongar people of the south-west of Western Australia call the little penguin widi, or kulija. The word kulija is believed to be a blend of the words kul (meaning movement) and nija (this), describing penguin tracks!

Mini Lego penguin, blue and white.
