Pig Paper Plate

Make a little pink piggy face on a paper plate in pink! Simple crafts with kids can be so much fun. This Pig Paper Plate is a great craft for kids on a rainy day or just because. Animal lovers will especially appreciate this project. Use a small cup to add dimension to the project and give your pig a little nose. Buttons can be glued on to create adorable little nostrils. If you need a fun after school activity or simply want to keep the little ones busy on a Saturday afternoon, lay out some paper plates and a few paint colors. In no time, your little crafters will have a sea of handmade pigs to show off and display.
