Directions
Download the pig craft template, print and cut out the pieces.
Glue the pig’s ear to the corner of the bag, like in the pictures. Next, glue the pig’s face to the front of the bag, on the flap part.
Place the eyes on the face, just about centered over the end of the smile. Glue in place to secure.
Take the snout and glue it in place between the eyes and just above the mouth. Use the pink marker to draw on the nostrils.
Glue the pink pig body to the base of the brown paper bag.
That’s it! Isn’t this so easy?!
We think since there are so few pieces and steps it’s a perfect craft to make with older toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarten children.
