Cinq petits cochons...

I'm sure that all of you are familiar with the English nursery rhyme "This little piggy", well last week at our toddler session I introduced a French version which I had come across on momes.net

The lyrics are similar to the English but not quite the same as you will see.  The actions, however, are exactly the same :o)

Cinq petits cochons
tout roses et tout ronds  (hold up all 5 fingers of one hand)

Celui-ci reste à la maison (wiggle the thumb)

Celui-ci va au marché (wiggle the index finger)

Celui-ci mange tout (wiggle the middle finger)

Celui-ci ne dit rien (wiggle the ring finger)

Et celui-ci pleure tout le long de la chemin.
Guiliguili!

We haven't done a cake related craft for a while and so I decided that this week we would make little piggy cupcakes.  To make your own your will need (per piggy cupcake):

a cupcake
pink frosting (butter cream or royal icing will be fine)
a pink marshmallow
a raisin cut in half
two triangles cut out of a slice of strawberry

Simply spread the icing onto the cupcake and place the marshmallow in the middle for the snout.  Next add the raisin halves as eyes and the strawberry triangles as ears.  Finally, devour your masterpiece!!  Miam, miam!

Here are our cute little piggies for you to admire!

Happy singing and crafting! :o)
