Penguin sounds for kids

SaysAawk-aawk

What sound does a penguin make?

A penguin brays and trumpets. Some penguins make a loud “aawk” that sounds a little like a donkey. In a crowded colony of thousands of birds, a penguin chick finds its mum or dad by their voice alone.

Try it together

Waddle with your arms stiff by your sides and call to each other across the room.

One animal, drawn three ways

Every card in Kidster comes in three styles. Some children love the cartoon, others recognise the real animal sooner. A parent picks the style in the Parent Zone, and the sound stays the same.
