Perky Paper Plate Pig

Why

Oink! Oink! Oink! Remember your trip to a farm—or a book or favorite nursery rhyme—with your own Perky Pig!

Steps

1. Use your imagination when you make this fun and easy pig! Decorate a large paper plate with Crayola Pip-Squeaks™ Markers to make your pig’s body.

2. Decorate a small paper plate to look like its head. Add eyes and a snout. Tear a small paper plate into triangles for ears. Color the inside of each ear a darker color. Tear another small paper plate for legs and a tail.

3. Attach the pieces with Crayola School Glue. Air-dry the glue before you play with your Perky Paper Plate Pig.

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

Interesting Info

No sweat! Pigs have no sweat glands, which is why they wallow in water or mud to keep cool.
