Easy Origami Pig Face

July 25, 2018

We haven’t shared a super duper easy Origami Kids Project for a little while.. having recently pulled together our Origami for Preschoolers subsection, as well as our Educational Benefits of Origami, I thought it would be nice to have a go at a new project! Today we share the super easy Origami Pig Face. Similar to the oh so popular Origami Dog for Preschool, this is a nice and easy basic folds origami project that young kids can quickly learn and hopefully enjoy! We love easy Pig Crafts for Kids.. and this little Piggy would make a great addition to any 3 Little Pigs Fairy Tale Craft or even Chinese New Year and the Year of the Pig 2019!!!
