Paper Pig Puppet
Age: 18 Months - 5 Years (younger ones need more supervision)
Time: 10 min (+ Prep)
Theme: Pigs
Books: Pigs to the Rescue by John
Himmelman, Happy Pig Day by Mo Willems
Materials:
Pink Construction Paper Extra Small Paper Bag (beverage size)
Crayons
Glue Sticks
Adults get to use Scissors
Prep: From the pink paper cut 2 triangle
ears and an oval for a snout. For the hooves cut 4 rectangles about 1” x 2” then
add a small notch at the end of each. For the tail use a circle about 1-1/2” cut
into a spiral.
Activity: Each child gets a small
bag, 2 ears, 4 hooves, a snout and a tail and a glue stick for putting it all
together. Once assembled, trade the glue stick for crayons. Add eyes, nostrils,
spots, clothes, mud, anything you like. Then it is time for a pig party!
Notes/Tips: Older kids can practice
their scissor skills by cutting the pig pieces out themselves. Beverage size paper
bags are just the right size for little hands, but you can use lunch size bags
too, just make the pig pieces bigger.
