Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that due to the holidays, this week and next week’s updates will be a bit different. So that’s the week of December 25 and January 1.

Instead of a Wednesday night update, the team will be launching new content this Thursday morning, bright and early and next Thursday (January 2) at 6:30pm PST. I’m sure you’ll all be too busy spending time with family and opening presents to notice anyways! 😉

Happy Holidays!

How fab is Coins for Change?! So many donations have been made already by amazing penguins like Chloboo1203. She’s been saving up, ready to donate as much as she can during this year’s Holiday Party! This party is one of my faves as I love how we penguins all join together to help make the world a better place. Your generosity is so touching! Keep it up!

If you think your friend deserves the Green Viking Helmet and 10,000 coins then comment below!

Byeee!

Way to go! We’ve unlocked our fourth project!

Yellow-Tailed Wooly Monkey and Andean Cat Habitats

With the help of Wildlife Conservation Network and Rare, you’ll help preserve the homes of endangered Yellow-tailed Wooly Monkeys in Peru and Andean Cats in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru. By working with local communities and providing educational resources we can help protect these animals’ habitats.

If you could visit another country and learn about an endangered species, which would you choose? Share it with us in the comments!

You’ve unlocked the third project!

School Libraries

You’re helping us build 10 school libraries, a kindergarten, and a group home in rural Ethiopia through Partners in the Horn of Africa. And that’s not all! They’re also building 5 reading spaces for elementary schools in India. These spaces give children a safe place to learn, and access to books.

If you could give a book to someone to read, which book would you choose and why?

Congratulations, with all your donations, you helped us unlock our second project:

Save Penguin Nesting Grounds

It’s no secret that we kinda have a thing for penguins. Through the Global Penguin Society, you’re helping to save the nesting grounds for Magellenic penguins in Argentina. These penguins will be able to safely lay their eggs and raise their chicks!

What are some ways you can help protect animals in your communities?

Here’s the first project you’re helping to support:

Toys for Tots!

You’re helping give kids opportunities to play indoors and out! Toys for Tots will bring 1,000 toys, and One Warm Coat will provide 1,000 coats to children all across the USA.

Are you helping children in your community this year? Share it with us in the comments below!

Here’s a screenshot I grabbed from the Snow Forts:

And finally, the main menu screen is decked out for the holidays, too. Ho ho ho!

We’ll be adding more rooms to the app over the next few weeks. I’ll post more as they appear!

Until then… Waddle on!
