This Little Piggy
A Fingerplay
This little piggy went to market;
This little piggy stayed home;
This little piggy had roast beef;
This little piggy had none;
This little piggy went, "Wee, wee, wee" all the way home.
Activities:
Celebrate National Pig Day (March 1) by reading aloud Don and Audrey Wood's humorously illustrated pig tale Piggies (Harcourt Brace & Company). For more pig fun, make these mighty fine swine. To make ten little piggies, have a child remove his socks and shoes. Recite "This Little Piggy Went to Market" rhyme as you paint the bottom of his toes with washable pink liquid paint. Have the child step onto a piece of paper, then into a tub of warm, soapy water. When the paint ---and the child's feet---are dry, encourage him to use a marker to add pig features to each of his ten pink toe prints. This little piggy went to preschool and said yeah, yeah, yeah," all the way home!
