Paper Plate Pig Puppet

Materials

Paper Plate
Pink Tempera Paint
Large Googly Eyes
Pink Construction Paper
Paint Brush
Black Sharpie Marker
Glue

Directions

Pour pink tempera paint in a small bowl or cup. Invite your child to paint the paper plate pink. While the paint is drying, cut out two pink trianges for the ears and one pink circle for the nose from pink construction paper.  Help your child draw two circles as nostrils on the pink circle. Once the pink paint has dried, encourage you child to glue the two triangles toward the top for the ears, two googly eyes on the paper plate, and the pink construction paper nose on the center of the plate. Tape a large craft stick to the bottom of the plate. Have fun using the pig puppet as you reread the book, If You Give a Pig a Pancake by Laura Numeroff.
