Pink Piggies

Kindergarten Pink Piggies!

First of all THANK YOU PAINTED PAPER

for the pig inspiration!

I had pinned Laura's front facing pig lesson and it was the perfect cap to our farm-related lessons in kindergarten. 

I had the students trace a small circle for the snout 

and then we worked outward from there to draw the pigs. 

Most of the kids drew a baby piglet from the front OR side as well- some mud and filled in the sky with rubbing crayons. 

They are so fun!

Today was PINK day! 

A perfect introduction to color tints. 

And if you usually get the "but pink is for girls!" response from the kiddos

this book is great:

Pink Me Up by Cherise Mericle Harper

Despite any apprehensions to pink though- the automatic response to mixing "a little red with a blob of white" is "oh my god PINK!".

 We also printed with cardboard strips dipped in green tempera paint to add some grass.
