How to Make a Pig Puppet From a Washcloth

Some babies and toddlers need a little extra motivation to willingly take a bath. Turn the bath into playtime and your young one may not even notice as he is being washed. Surprise your baby by turning everyday objects into playthings.

Instructions

      Fold a large, pink washcloth in half. Draw the pattern of a pig puppet, including a head and two broad arms, protruding from the body. Leave the bottom of the pig wide enough to slide your hand into. Cut out the pig form.

      Cut two pink triangles for ears from the excess fabric. Lay the puppet's pieces with right sides together. Pin the triangular ears in place with a tuck in the center of the ear's seam. Stitch the puppet pieces together by hand or with a sewing machine leaving the bottom open.

      Turn the pig puppet inside out. Draw a circle in the center of the pig's face for a snout nose. Add two black eyes and a happy smile. Slide your hand in the puppet to entertain and clean your young one.
