Pig Day

Shortly after Andy and I got married, I found this site of odd holidays. At the time, I picked one monthly holiday (for example chocolate month) and I mailed my nieces and nephews something related to that monthly holiday (they each got a chocolate bar and chocolate fun facts for chocolate month). I recently thought about that project again and I thought it would be fun to incorporate it into Arin's "school" activities. Instead of doing odd monthly holidays, we are going to focus more on the odd daily holidays.

According to the site, today, March 1st, is Pig Day!

We made a piggy bank. For the body, we used an empty lime juice container (shaped like a lime). The cap is the snout. I cut a slit in the top for the coins and I poked a hole in the end opposite the cap (for the tail). Arin glued on two wiggly eyes, four foam beads (for feet), two felt triangles (ears) and a curled pipe cleaner (tail).
