Cut out your pig face shapes – you will need some circles/ ovals for the face and snout, some triangles for the ears and optional some light pink cheeks. We used contrasting pinks.Easy Rocking Paper Plate Pig for Kids. A great Paper Plate Pig craft for preschoolers for the Year of the Pig or Farmyward Craft session.

Stick your face shapes together and add details in pen.
