Learning guide
The physical elements of this make (cutting, sticking and painting) all help develop your child's fine motor skills. Have a sing-a-long while you’re crafting too. Which other animals were on Old MacDonald’s farm? What sounds do they make? Are there any famous pigs that your little one knows? Maybe ones who like jumping in muddy puddles…
