Muddy pigs

Today as part of farm week we made muddy pigs inspired by this post on Mrs. Karen's Preschool Ideas.

I found a pig template on Google and printed them out and had the kids color them in. My kids are not fond of coloring, but Lucian did his and Sutton did some.

Then I attempted to mix some rock salt and oatmeal into brown paint. When the kids painted with brushes though, they mostly only got paint and the chunks stayed in the muffin liners. 

Lucian and Sutton's pigs are VERY muddy, while our daycare friends looks more as I had envisioned. The kids had fun making them muddy though, so I call it a success!
