Make a Pig!

Materials needed:

  • Paper plates

    What to do

    Step One  Have your child paint two paper plates pink and let them dry.

    Step Three  Draw two circles, about the size of a paper cup on pink construction paper.

    Step Four  Cut the circles out and glue one to the top of each side of the paper plate for the pig's ears.

    Step Five  Cut out eyes and a mouth from construction paper and glue them in place.
