You’re invited to the party of the century, complete with music, dancing, costumes, aaaaaand cake! There’s just one rule…you absolutely HAVE to be a pig to attend!
We read Pig Town Party by Lian Cho (Harper, 2024). When an exclusive “Pig Town Party” invitation arrives in the wrong mailbox, the little girl doesn’t hesitate. Despite not being a pig, and not being invited, she navigates her way to Pig Town and enthusiastically joins in the festivities. Because it’s a costume party, no one questions her until the REAL pig the invite was intended for shows up. And that pig is very, very, miffed. Chaos ensues, a chase, and a big surprise in the end for the party crasher! This hilarious book was recommended by a story time kid, and we absolutely loved it!
You’ll need:
- 1 large oatmeal container
- Pink construction paper
- 1 jumbo pom pom
- 1 pair of wiggles eyes
- Various art supplies for costumes
- Scissors, tape, and glue for construction
- Markers for decorating
- Hot glue
We begin with our standard oatmeal container piggy with wiggle eyes, a jumbo pom pom nose, and self-adhesive foam nostrils:
Then, our story time kids costumed their pigs with art supplies galore! Take a look…
Once the costumes were complete, there was music, dancing, and everyone got to take home a squishy little cake key chain! It was a party to remember!
