Cover a normal size paper plate and a dessert size plate with pink construction paper. Glue the dessert plate onto the larger plate, lining up the bottoms of the plates so they are flush. To do this, place the paper plate food side down. Attach the dessert plate, food side down, by glueing around the small plate's edges. The large plate becomes the pig's body; while the small plate becomes the pig's face. Cut out of pink construction paper four pig feet, a round snout and two ears for the pig’s face. Glue the parts onto the pig and draw eyes with a black marker. Punch a hole in the larger plate to stick a pink pipe cleaner through as the pig’s tail.
Take a paper plate and cut out two pig ears and glue them on a second plate. Cut a cup approximately two inches up from the bottom and glue it on the center of the plate to form the snout. After it is dry, paint the entire project pink. Cut a mouth from red construction paper. Glue the mouth on and glue two buttons on the nose. Paint or draw eyes and eyebrows onto the pig’s face.
Preschoolers often enjoy making masks out of paper plates. Cut out the shape of a pig’s face on a paper plate. Cut out ears from the pink construction paper. Glue the ears on the pig. Have the children draw faces on the pig and cut out eye holes. Attach a craft stick on the bottom of the pig mask to allow the children to hold their masks in front of their faces.
Take a piece of pink construction paper and cut out four legs. The piece should be large enough to roll it into the shape of a two-inch long tube. Paint the paper plate, face-down, pink and glue the legs on the plate, two in the front and two in the back. Place the paper bowl onto the plate, up-side-down, at the bottom of the plate to form the pig’s face. Cut out ears from the construction paper and glue on the plate, just above the bowl. Draw eyes, a nose and mouth on the bowl for the pig’s face. Attach a pink pipe cleaner at the top center part of the plate for the pig’s tail. When finished, the pig will look like he is lying down.
