The Three Little Pigs

May 12th 2009 04:39

From one classic fairytale to another, this week's activities surround the ever popular children's tale, The Three Little Pigs.

Being such a popular story, it seems that there is no shortage for inspiration on the web covering all kinds of activities, colouring pages and ideas to complement the story.

This week we are going to attempt our first ever home made papier-mache piggy bank and from the look of it, it is going to be a very messy but fun experience.

DLTK Kids also provided us with some great ideas including a fun paper plate pig, an easy toilet paper pig and wolf and a paper craft pig.

During last week's activities my daughter had a lot of fun with the shadow puppet theatre we made and this week we are going to reenact the Three Little Pig story using these handy templates.

My personal favourite however is this cute activity where the children get to create their own version of the pig's houses using spaghetti, toothpicks and paper bricks.

Tra la la la la la!

My childhood was a little different. My Mother told me stories like "The Old Woman She Smokes" and "I Want My Two Big Toes". Hence my love of horror. I also told my son these stories...but not often. He was more comfy with "The Three Little Pigs" and "Little Red Riding Hood", childhood basics. Although, he still loves me to sing "Babes in the Woods", which always brought me to tears as a child.

The versions of the stories you mentioned where the wolf eats the first two pigs and where the wolf eats grandma is not particularly horror free either though. It's a wonder any of us slept as children really!
