A Pig in the Mud
We have been reading and talking about farm animals for the past week. We read the book Pigs in the Mud in the Middle of the Rud
, by Lynn Plourde and I thought that these negative space paintings would be a fun project for Emily to do to go along with the book!
I traced pieces from her Melissa & Doug Farm Wooden Chunky Puzzle
onto cardboard and cut them out.

For the first one Emily taped the pig shape onto a piece of pink construction paper
Next, she painted over the shape with brown paint.
When she was finished we pulled off the pig cardboard shape to see what was left behind.
We decided that it looked like a pig in the mud!!
Emily enjoyed doing this so we did it again with all of the cardboard shapes.
Emily covered the whole piece of construction paper with green, yellow and brown paint.
Then we peeled of the pieces to revel our negative space farm!
