You’ll Need
* 3 single serving milk-cartons (clean)
* Construction Paper
* Small Twigs
* Spaghetti (uncooked)
* Glue
* Scissors
* Marker
Directions:
Your child will recreate each of the three houses of the little pigs. Start by cutting a door into each of the milk cartons. Glue spaghetti all over the first house to make it look like a straw house. Repeat with the twigs for the second house. Cover the third house in red construction paper and outline small squares with a black marker to make it look like red bricks.
You can cut out three pig shapes and a wolf from construction paper or use little plastic animals to let your child reenact the story.
Alternatively you could draw a simple house shape each on 3 pieces of paper and let your child glue the spaghetti, twigs and construction paper bricks on it.

Sun Handprint Craft
Directions:
Paint the bottom (outside) of the plate yellow and allow to dry.
Trace your child’s handprint with pencil on the yellow and orange construction paper. You’ll need about 6 to 8 yellow and the same amount of orange handprints.
Cut out the handprints and start by gluing the yellow handprints all around the plate, leaving a little gap between the handprints. Glue the orange handprints behind the yellow ones to fill in the gaps.
Draw a face on the sun using the black marker.
I like to put the child’s name and age, or the date on the back of the plate for future reference.
