National Pig Day
 

March 1st is National Pig Day, honest!

To celebrate those cute pink porkers, why not try one of the following activites?

:pig: Make fairy cakes, top with pink icing and let the kids make the face.
:pig: Make pigs in blankets for lunch - let the kids wrap a hot dog/ veggie sausage in bread.
:pig: Make a huge piggy collage, using cut-out pictures and drawings.
:pig: Make pig masks from paper plates - glue on a yoghurt cup for the snout, and have the kids running around making piggy noises.
:pig: As a group say the rhyme 'This little piggy went to veggie-world', letting the children take it in turns to have their 'piggies' counted.
:pig: Tell the story of The Three Little Pigs.
:pig: Make a collage themed on the colour pink.
:pig: Make a collage themed on the letter 'P'.
:pig: Have a trip to a local farm.
:pig: Get the childrens to bring in their cuddly pigs and have a piggy picnic.
:pig: Teach the children about pigs, how they love to hunt truffles and actually hate to be dirty - mud baths remove fleas and ticks. Dispel a few myths!

If you come across a friendly piggy, they love to be tickled on the snout - right between the nostrils - I know 'cos a piggy told me!! :D
