Resting
Pig
 What
you will need: two dinner sized paper plates (heavy duty is best,
but the cheap ones will work), 1 paper bowl, four 5 ounce Dixie cups,
construction paper or card stock, pink and black paint, hot melt glue
gun or stapler and a pink pipe cleaner.
How to make:
1. Make the four
legs first. Cut the side seams (the part of the cup that has been
glue together) out of the cup and then squeeze the sides together
rolling the sides over each other. Glue or staple the sides together.
You want to make the top part of the cup much smaller. Do this for
all four legs. Make a crease on both sides of the legs at the top
so that the seams are on the bottom. Cut about one inch down on
each side at the creases and slide them onto a dinner sized paper
plate that is  set upright so that the seams of the legs are facing
down. Glue or staple them to the plate.
2. Make a tail
for the pig out of the pipe cleaner and staple it onto the same
paper plate.
3. Turn another
dinner sized paper plate upside down and glue it on top of the plate
with the feet.
4. For the head,
cut two slits down the side of a paper bowl. Bring the sides of
slits together and glue or staple them making two darts at  about
where the sides of the mouth will end.
5. Cut out two
ears from construction paper or card stock and glue them to the
back of the bowl.
6. Glue the bowl
to the top of the paper plate as shown.
7. Paint the
pig pink and the bottoms of the feet black.
8. Draw eyes
on a piece of card stock, cut them out, and glue them to the head.
Draw in the nose and mouth.

  Your children will love this classical Three Little Pig story told from the Cajun perspective. Children are introduced to French words and Cajun cuisine and dialect in this humorous lyrical story. The delightful illustrations depict the style and rhythm beautifully.
Read this story several times before you attempt to read it to your child. The pronunciation and Cajun dialect takes some getting used to. But you will find it is fun to read once you catch on.
 Read Pigericks from "The Book of Pigericks" and have your children write their own limericks. They may even want to illustrate them. To find out more about how to write limericks go to www.gigglepoetry.com.
