Three Little Pigs

Total Time Needed:: 1 Hour

These cute little piglets, sweet enough to win the heart of the big bad wolf, are so cute, they look like they just stepped out of a fairy tale. (The directions below are for one costume.) For detailed illustrations of the various parts of this costume, click here.

Materials

1- by 2-foot piece of pink polar fleece
3 pipe cleaners
Double-sided tape
Two 9- by 12-inch dark pink felt rectangles
Baseball cap
Overalls

Pair of pink socks
Black permanent marker or fabric marker
Pink shirt
Pink face paint
Rubber pig nose (sold at many party stores)

Instructions

Cut out and attach a pair of pink fleece pig ears to the top of the baseball cap with double-sided tape. Accent the pig ears by taping darker pink felt triangles to the fronts. Add a curly pig tail to the seat of your piglet's overalls. Shape the pig tail into a squiggle before attaching it.
Transform the pink socks into cleft pig hooves your child wears on her hands by drawing a triangular hoof line on each one with a black permanent marker or fabric marker. Color your child's cheeks with face paint and have her put on her pig nose.
Supply your three little pigs with their building materials. Tie one length of yarn or twine around a bundle of sticks and another around a handful of straw or raffia. For bricks, tie together a few small rectangular tea boxes covered with red duct tape.
