Enchanted Learning Software's Piggy Bank More Kinder Crafts This is a great way to make a really cute piggy bank out of papier-mâché. This is a craft that you can use for a long time. This project takes a few days (there is a lot of drying time between papier-mâché layers) and parental supervision of younger kids. |
 |
 |
Flour-water Glue for Papier-Mâché: Make a simple, thin glue from flour and water (boiling gives it a nice consistency). Mix 1 cup of flour into 1 cup of water until the mixture is thin and runny. Stir into 4 cups of boiling water. Simmer for about 3 minutes, then cool. |

After the papier-mâché is completely dry, it's time to add the legs and the snout.
Separate 5 paper egg carton sections (one for each leg and the snout). Use the masking tape to attach them to the oval-shaped body. |
 |
To color your pig, either paint it with tempera paint or use pink tissue paper.
For the tissue paper coating, first tear or cut the tissue paper into small pieces ( a few inches in all directions). Then cover the pig with a very thin layer of the flour-water glue (using your fingers is the easiest way). Next, put the tissue paper pieces on the pig (you may need to add a little more glue occasionally) until you have a nice pink coat for the pig. Let the pig dry completely (at least overnight). |
|
The tail: Using a sharp crafts knife, make a small hole at the tail end of the pig. Insert a pipe cleaner into the hole, then shape the pipe cleaner into a spiral.
Eyes: Make eyes with a marker or glue on plastic googly eyes. Nostrils: Make two nostrils on the snout with a marker. The Money Slot: Along the top of the pig's body, carefully cut a slot large enough to fit any coin. |
