Did You Know? Penguins Propose With Pebbles!
When a male penguin falls in love, he searches the whole beach for the perfect pebble to give his partner!
Penguins Propose With Pebbles! 🐧
This is possibly the most romantic thing in the animal kingdom: male penguins propose with pebbles!
When a male Gentoo penguin finds a partner he likes, he searches the entire beach for the smoothest, most perfect pebble he can find. Then he waddles over and places it in front of her. If she accepts the pebble, they become partners! They use pebbles to build their nest together.

Color a penguin holding a shiny pebble with a heart in the background! Ask your kids: “If you were a penguin, what would you give to your best friend?”
Fun fact bonus: Emperor penguins can dive deeper than 1,800 feet — that’s deeper than most submarines go! 🌊
