DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Pig Farm Animal Craft
I've had a lot of requests for farm animal
crafts. This farm pig is made with a toilet paper roll and spends a lot of time
rolling around in the mud. For younger kids who have a tough time with the toilet
paper roll craft (and who like to keep up with older siblings) try the easy pig who is made with triangle and circle shapes.

Materials:
 | a
toilet paper roll, |
| a
printer, |
| glue, |
| scissors, |
| something to colour with |
| a piece of paper. |
Instructions:
| Print out the template of choice.
|
| Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the
template pieces.
|
| Glue the large rectangular piece on first to
cover the tube.
 | Toilet paper rolls come in different sizes, so if
you find the rectangle is a bit too big, just trim it down |
| If you find the rectangle is a bit too small,
just cut out another small piece to fill in the gap. |
| We usually cut off about 1/2 an inch off the top
of the tp roll just to keep the animal's proportions looking right.
|
|
| Glue on the head, arms, legs and tail.
| We usually glue the legs on so the animal looks
like it's sitting down. |
| Bend the tab on the tail and glue to the back of
the tp roll to give a 3D effect.
|
|
| Close the template window after printing to
return to this screen.
| Set page margins to zero if you have trouble
fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers). |
