Pig On A Farm Craft

Materials

For this craft, you will need glue bottles, construction paper in a variety of colors, and scissors.

Instructions

Cut out a yellow circle for your sun. Cut clouds out of white or blue construction paper. Arrange the sun and the clouds in the background and glue them in place.

For the pig, cut three circles out of pink construction paper. Arrange the circles in order from biggest to smallest on the background. Take a strip of construction paper and fold it into a “Z” shape. Glue the head onto one side of the “Z” and then glue the other side of the “Z” to the nose. This creates a 3D effect of the nose popping out from the face. Do this again to connect the body to the head. You may need to use a fatter strip of paper to connect the head to the body.

The eyes are made by cutting small circles out of white construction paper. The pupils are made with black construction paper. If you fold a small piece of black construction paper in half and then cut out a very small circle, you will have two pupils of the same size.

Cut out the nostrils in the same manner and glue them into place.

Cut out a mouth shape with black construction paper and glue it into place.

Make ears by cutting diamond shapes out of pink construction paper and rounding the side edges. Glue these to the back of the head so that they are poking out a bit.

Make the tail by cutting a long, thin piece of pink construction paper and rolling it up around a pen to make it curly. Tuck the tail behind the body to complete the pig.

Add construction paper grass by taking a long, thin strip of green construction paper and snipping it along one side. Try to cut about halfway through. If you accidentally cut the grass in half, that’s okay – just paste it onto your paper in two pieces. Finally, add some crows or other details to complete the farm scene!
