Kids love to craft animals. This Paper Plate Pig designed by the FreeKidsCrafts team is the latest addition to our paper plate animal family. The supplies are simple and easy to craft into a successful art project to hang on the wall.

Trivia:

Feral swine are not native to the Americas. They were first brought to the United States in the 1500s by early explorers and settlers as a source of food. Free-range livestock management practices and escapes from enclosures led to the first establishment of feral swine populations within the United States.
