I’m not sure if some people who have seen my cubicle at work think I have a lot of penguins in there. I really don’t think so, at least their numbers haven’t grown to 4,000. Wow. That’s a lot of penguins alright. Now I do love a good penguin item but I won’t just buy any old thing with a penguin. Most of my collection sits on a small shelf above my monitor nowadays and I will mostly confine them to that shelf as I honestly cannot have them intruding on my work area. On that shelf, I have all (except for three) of my stuffed toys and some smaller items. I have a long armed, long legged one that hangs from the rear view mirror of Penguino and a Magellanic named Pengi that rides in my laptop backpack. At home, I have a penguin chalk board on my desk and a Piplup stuffed toy sitting under my monitor.

Does anyone else have a bunch of penguins they have collected? Where do you put them?

Where?
Well they sort of clutter the place.
Some in my locker, on my computer desk *admires Squashnoff* and the rest on my bed and just everywhere I look in my room.
They are slowly taking over the house- And then the world!

Be careful or you’ll be featured in an article like that lady I linked to above. I would have to agree, though, that they do have a way of taking over a house quickly. Penguins are the main item I get on my birthday and Christmas. I had so much stuff on my desk at home. I think I still have a few things stuffed in the desk drawer!

I keep them at home and given that I have 24+ or so soft toys not including other paraphernalia like pens, notebooks or erasers lying around. There are also the additional 20+ penguin soft toys I left at my parents house when I moved out as well.
I don’t know. I have a lot of penguins and have been collecting them for a long time. After all, they are our future overlords.

I have about two dozen. At Christmas, I create a winter display for them. Last year, I put them all on the bar, with icicle lights above and shiny paper below, each of them riding a white “ice floe”.
This year I play to make a diorama- shop window size- on my floor, so the grandkids can move the penguins around. I have a “pond” area, and a “snow” area, and a “rock” area, all with lights and icicles. I know they all are not arctic, but one has to start somewhere, and I live in Arizona!

Mary, that sounds quite awesome. When you have it all set up, can you post a picture of it somewhere? I’d love to see what it looks like!

I’m one of those people that have been collecting so long that I have thousands of them. They have taken over the house! Haha. I also put up a big Christmas tree with close to 500 penguin ornaments on it, and no 2 are exactly alike. It’s amazing how many I get as gifts for b-day and Christmas each year.
