Sooo weee …. pig, pig, pig! It’s National Pig day……. No really it is!
Started by Ellen Stanley, a Texas art teacher who created National Pig Day in 1972.
Her intent was to to recognize and be thankful for pigs as intelligent domestic animals.
There’s no evidence to suggest that this is truly a “National” day, which requires an act of congress. But you can celebrate it anyway!
A few suggestions…
- Make pig tails by cutting a pink circle around and around toward the middle and then taping it onto the back of your pants…. so much fun for everyone at the office!
- Make a pig ear head band…. getting the idea!
- Make pig snouts to wear out of empty toilet tissue rolls….. to complete the ensemble, of course!
Then once everyone has a costume you could:
- Have a pig parade…. don’t forget to wave at the nonconformists in the lunch room!
- Have Pigs in a Blanket for lunch….. and of course eat like piggies….. oink , oink, oink!
- Roll on the floor likes pigs rolling in mud….. this is the best part!
- Sing the This Little Piggy song…. flourished with pig squeals of course!!!
Why should preschoolers have all the fun?? Oink, Oink, Oink….
Hee heee! As a fellow piggy-poster, I love t his guy! Now I’ll know what to do next year fro National Pig Day. I love pigs!
