What You Need
- Pink construction paper
- Stapler
- Scissors
- Pink yarn
- Black marker
- Pencil
- White glue
What You Do:
- Cut out a strip of pink construction paper that's about 6" x 3".
- Roll the strip into a cylinder shape, so it’s about the same circumference as a toilet paper roll. Staple it in place at each end.
- Trace around the circumference, or end of the stapled roll onto the remaining pink construction paper using a pencil.
- Help your child cut on the outside edge of your line on the construction paper, leaving a bit of space between where you cut and where you drew the pencil line, to make a larger circle.
- Carefully glue the edge of one side of the cylinder shape and place it down on the cut circle to complete the snout shape. Allow the snout to dry.
- On the front of the snout, encourage your child to draw two oval shapes using a black marker.
- Cut two lengths of pink yarn that are at least 8 inches each. Staple one piece of yarn to the center of each side of the back of the snout.
- Help your kid tie the yarn together behind his head, and position the snout comfortably in place over his nose. Oink, oink!
