fischertechnik Yule Penguins

I play with different educational manipulatives for a living. (Visit www.weirdrichard.com). Over the years I have built different holiday themed models using all sorts of toys. It is easy to create awesome Christmas and Yule scenes with fischertechnik pieces and parts. This instructable will describe how to create a baby and a mama penguin Christmas decoration. Hang them on the tree! Place them on the mantle! Put them in a young one's stocking!

Note: The CAD-looking images were generated by LDraw/MLCAD and a fischertechnik elements library.

Step 1 Collect the Parts

Gather elements:
You will need to gather your elements. The fischertechnik elements are available from a range of kits available from a

fischertechnik retailer, and the specific elements can be purchased individually from www.fischertechnik.com. They also come

up for sale on ebay often.

Great job! These looks very easy to do, and they're super small and cool too! Do you know how to do this in LEGO though?
