Three Little Pigs Day

Three Little Pigs Day

On Monday, we had a "Three Little Pigs" day. We started by reading the "Three Little Pigs" story. Then we took an old cereal box, cut out a long rectangle for the walls and a smaller rectangle for the roof. We folded and glued to make little cardboard houses. The kids then glued cut up yellow yarn to make "straw houses". I drew a pig, they colored it pink, and we cut it out and glued it onto the house. -Voila - the first little pig in his straw house.

We then made "stick houses" out of lincoln logs.

Using another old cereal box, I made a larger house which Caroline colored red. I helped her draw the "bricks" with permanent marker.

 

To make this house, you are basically cutting out the below shape (all in one piece. The lines are for measuring and folding). You will want to use a ruler to make sure your front and back are the same dimensions, as well as your 2 sides. ) Then fold and glue or tape together. You can then add on more pieces to make the house more "fancy" if you desire. 

 

We capped off our three little pigs day with piggy pancakes for lunch...( a larger pancake, a small pancake for the nose, 2 quarters of a small pancake for the ears, and chocolae chips for the snout holes and eyes. )
