Improving Fine Motor Skills
We all know that crafting is super fun, but it’s also great for improving fine motor skills. As your little cut-out shapes, and draw on faces, not only will they get to express their creativity, but they will also get some fine motor practice.

Step 2: Cut Out the Pig Craft Shapes
Print the free pig printable templates. You will be stapling them to colored paper and cutting out as many shapes as you need.
If you want to make this craft with a group of kids, you can staple the template to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 5-8 sheets of construction paper.
So, did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting.
Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.
Tip: While you’re cutting, if you cut off all parts of the pages that have staples, make sure to re-staple the sheets that are left.
Whenever you’re cutting multiple sheets at a time, make sure they are always stapled together.
