Penguin Riddles For Kids
My wings are used as flippers
So in water I can flow
Sometimes when on land I slide
On my belly in the snow

Even though I have two wings
I’m a bird that cannot fly
I often like to swim though
And on ice is where I dry
~
It’s cold and icy where we live
So we have to huddle in tight
We have wings but we cannot fly
So we can’t soar to a great height

What Am I?
