After I was inspired by this project at Frugal Family Fun and DLTK Teaching we decided to try our hand at creating a three little pigs story set to go with our finger puppets.
Here’s how we did it:
Since I did not have any milk cartons I used Kelleigh Ratzlaffs Milk Carton Template.
If you don’t have Kelleighs template you can use milk cartons and then print out these three pig house textures. You just need to cut/glue them onto your milk cartons. (or collect things from outside like Valerie did at Frugal Family Fun blog)
Kelleigh includes two different sizes of milk cartons, one tall and one short. I then combined(clipped) the brick/straw/stick paper to the template and printed out which was really easy.
The difficult part was finding suitable backgrounds! I created some easy to download house texture files. You can download these by clicking here or by clicking on the image
Then I cut and scored on appropriate lines
and folded and glued

Don’t forget to add doors and green felt for grass!
Since I had the three pigs finger puppets I didn’t need to make the pigs and wolf themselves but those can be made by printing out three pigs and a wolf images from google.
Or make these toilet paper roll pigs at Dltk Kids. They’ve even got the wolf! 
Or print these, have your kids color and glue them to popsicle sticks
As another activity we then we printed a piggy face mask that I made and cut out the circle. You can download that here:
If you need to make the hole bigger just cut into the pink until it is the appropriate size.
Deen had a lot of fun being the wolf and blowing me down while I wore the piggy mask.
This was our first time participating in STart (a blog hop of crafts linked to books.)

Oh boy, so many good ideas for this story! Anna is not a big fan of three pigs – she finds it scary. I hope Deen had a lot of fun playing with these puppets.
I love this! This is so creative and so fun. A wonderful project.
Wow! What an adorable project!! I'm going to have to show this off on my blog!! Thanks so much!!
This is great! I love it!!! Thank you so much for the link! I love the printables… so so cute and so much fun!
OMG~~~~!!! This is great!!!! I was just playing 3 little pigs with my son today with blanket covered table. But, this looks funner (as my son would say)!
I LOVE storytelling props, I just saw some 3 little pigs puppets at Dollar Store Crafts website and they are on my to-do list!
What a cute idea! I love all of it especially the wolf!
Wonderfully cute!
This project is awesome!! Emily has been really into the 3 little pigs I think she would LOVE this. Thank you for linking up :0)
