How to Make a Piggy Bank for Kids
Making a piggy bank with your child not only encourages them to save, it can get them enthusiastic about it.Not only that, but this activity can be either an outdoor or rainy day project - and it's green, besides, since you're using mostly recycled materials. The few things you need cost very little, making this a fun, frugal activity for parents and kids.
The lid is easy: simply cut a coin-sized slot in the top, and set it aside.Paint the entire outside of the can white first. Priming the can makes whatever color you decide on much brighter, and allows you to use fewer coats of paint. Let the white dry completely first. Acrylic craft paint dries quickly - in ten or fifteen minutes - especially if it's nice outside and you do this project in the fresh air.Do a second - and probably a third- coat of color. Stop whenever YOU'RE satisfied with the brightness and the coverage.If you've decided to seal the paint, do it now, then put the can aside until it's COMPLETELY dry. (Work on the decorations while the sealer dries. Now is a good time to decorate the lid, and prepare the items you'll glue onto the can.)
Be SURE to place the can in a well-ventilated area both while you apply the sealer, and while it dries.
Trace a circle on the craft foam of felt about two inches in diameter, or use the bottom of a coffee cup for piggy's nose.With the black marker, draw two straight, parallel lines, about three-quarters of an inch, centered in the middle of the nose.If using bottle caps, paint eyes on the INSIDE of the bottle caps, so the FLAT end can be glued onto the can. (The ridged end won't stick to the can very well.) For "cute" eyes, draw BIG black pupils inside the whites of the eyes. Include a smaller white circle called a "catch light."The "catch lights" should be on the same side of each eye, or piggy will look cross-eyed or wall-eyed.
If using foam or felt, cut the circles to match the diagram, and glue them on top of each other.
For a "female" pig, simply add eyelashes. (see picture.) Another trick for a female pig, if you're using bottle caps for eyes: use your black permanent marker and color in the ridges around the bottle cap, giving her full, lush, lashes.For ears, fold your felt or foam at the corner, and cut on the diagonal, leaving you two triangles. Fold a quarter or half inch at the bottom of the triangle, so the ears stand up straight. Glue them to the side of the can, near the top, above the eyes.
To give your pig a smile, you can simply draw one on with your black permanent marker.For a curly tail, cut one out of the felt or foam scraps. No need to be perfect; just a wiggly shape will do.Here's the tail, glued onto the can. See how good it looks, once it's glued on?Package Included:

04-06-2011- Other Thoughts: My two year old grandson enjoyed my wife's bank so much I thought he would like one of his own. He likes putting things in other things and taking them out. He really likes the appearance of this bank and spends up to half an hour putting coins in, then pulling the stopper and doing it all again. Other times he just plays with it is pretty.
