Directions:
- First squirt some PINK craft paint in the center of your large paper plate. You don’t need a lot. The size of a quarter is a good starting point.
- Take the fork – which is your “paint brush” and spread the paint ALL around to color in the white paper plate.
- Once you are done creating the “skin” – set aside the decorated paper plate to let it dry a bit.
- Now grab your printed pig printable.
- Color in the triangle ears and circular snout however you like {I went with basic pink and black crayon.}
- When done coloring in the shapes, trim out each piece with your scissors. Discard excess paper.
- Finally – the last step of this paint covered paper plate pig craft. Use the school glue to glue all your cardstock pieces and wiggle eyes to the paint covered paper plate.
- Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
