Are you familiar with the phrase, you sweat like a pig? It actually isn’t true since pigs can not sweat. They roll in the mud to cool down.
It is also a common misconception that pigs are dirty animals, they are actually pretty clean. If they have enough space, they will not soil where they sleep or eat.
Pigs are very smart animals. Research shows have high cognitive abilities and can play complex games, use tools, recognize their own name, and learn basic commands and tricks.

Are you familiar with the story of the three little pigs? It is a classic tale where three little pigs try to escape the big bad wolf.
Use our small pic printables to create the three little pigs on cardstock or make stickers for your story. Your kids will love it!
4. Pig Coloring Pages
The easiest way of using our templates is as pig coloring pages. Take our large pig outline printable and turn it into an easy pig coloring sheet.
You can adjust the difficulty level depending on your children’s age. Use the larger picture of pigs for younger children and the medium-sized or small pig printable for older children.
Instead of coloring the pig sheets with markers, they can also try various new painting techniques to make it more interesting.
For example, have they tried Salt Painting yet? It is really fun.
Take a look at the link to find the full tutorial!
Using our piggy printouts as stencils is also an easy way to make an adorable farm animal craft. I recommend using the smaller or medium-sized piglet outlines to repurpose them into pig stencils.
Our most loved painting technique for stencils is using an old toothbrush. With the help of watercolors, you can create beautiful pig artwork.
Do you plan a farmyard party? Simply color our pig outlines with pink markers and make an adorable invitation for your farmyard party out of them.
They also make fun greeting cards for your family and friends.
I recommend using our medium piglet stencil templates to create your card or invitations.
7. Art Journal Decore
Our pig templates or pig pattern printables will help you to design your art journal.
Craft creative shapes and use them as backgrounds, patterns, or focal points in your art journal.
8. Pig Garland
Do you have farm week at school or like to have a farm animal birthday party? Then make an adorable pig garland and decorate it for your celebration.
Simply craft away with our medium-sized simple pig outlines. After you are finished making them look pretty and to your liking, go ahead and cut them out.
Then take a long string and attach your pig arts and crafts projects to the string with clear tape. The garland of pigs will look nicer if you are able to place them at the same distance from each other.
I also recommend using thicker cardboard paper for this farm animal project. Thicker paper will make sure your DIY garland will last longer. Now all you gotta do is hang it up.
Instead of just using pigs you can also add other farm animals or even a tractor to your garland. What do you think?
9. Farmanimal Decoration
As you can read above you can turn our piglet templates into invitations and garlands. But they also can be used to decorate your walls, windows, doors, or party tables.
Use our piggy templates to create table place cards, use them to name your party favors, or add them to your snack or gift boxes.
The possibilities for our piglet printables are endless!
