Ten Dirty Pigs

This week at the library, the theme was "pigs". The librarian always sets out a variety of books relating to the theme for the children to check out. We picked out the book Ten Dirty Pigs by Carol Roth. It is really 2 books in 1. If you flip it around and turn it upside down, it is another story called Ten Clean Pigs.

After reading it,  I thought C would love to make her own muddy pig (she had lots of fun with all the pig activities they had at the library!)

All I did was print a pig on pink paper and let her sponge paint brown paint on it

Pig found here - I enlarged it

The only brown paint we had was acrylic, I added dish soap hoping it would make it more washable. And wouldn't you know, the one time I do this, she hardly makes a mess.

stART: There Are Cats in This Book

I mentioned in this post that There Are Cats In This Book was one of C's favorite books that we had checked out the library. So I decided to make this book be part of her first stART.

We didn't have any orange paint, so we had to make some! I added too much red. So next time we have to mix orange, it needs more yellow, less red :) I drew an outline and C painted it. When it was dry she drew a face and then we hung it up. I said "look there is a cat on the refrigerator" and she thought was the funniest thing!
