Easy Pig Craft
- Create a pig snout for kids using a paper cup. Paint the cup pink, and add two nostrils using black paint. Punch two holes in the top of the cup, one on each side. Tie a string through each hole to hold the snout in place. Create a pig-ear headband to accompany the pig snout. Use a long strip of pink paper that reaches around the child's head as the headband. Cut out pig ears from pink paper and glue or staple them to the headband.
- Use a shoe-box lid to create a pig pen craft. Make a fence for the pig pen by gluing craft sticks vertically as posts to the shoe-box lid. Add horizontal craft sticks to complete the fence for the pig pen. Prepare a small amount of plaster of Paris, and mix in brown powdered tempera paint to create the appearance of mud. Line the inside of the shoe-box lid with foil or plastic wrap, and pour the brown plaster of Paris inside the lid. Use your hand to make the plaster of Paris look like mud, with holes and ridges. Create pigs out of clay or play dough, adding details to the pigs with paint. Place the pigs inside the pen to complete the pig pen scene.
- The materials needed for this pig craft include a paper plate, paper bowl, three paper cups, construction paper and pink paint. Paint the plate, bowl and cups with the pink paint. When the paint is dry, glue the paper bowl onto the back of the paper plate, with the bottom of the bowl facing up to create the pig's head. Cut one of the paper cups to make it about 1-inch tall; this will serve as the pig's snout. Glue the short cup to the paper bowl, with the bottom of the cup facing out. Squish the tops of the other two cups, and staple them to the bottom of the plate to resemble the pig's legs. Cut two pig ears from a piece of pink construction paper, and glue them to the plate, just above the bowl. Add eyes, nostrils and a smile to the pig with black paint.
