Kids often giggle at the curly tail, the flat snout and the oink. Pigs are also a good way to explain why animals do things: pigs roll in mud to cool off because they cannot sweat much. Realistic colors are pink, black, brown, spotted or ginger. A muddy pig gives children a reason to try brown on top of pink.
For mud, color the pig pink first, then press lightly with a brown crayon or rub a little brown chalk pastel over the legs and belly with a fingertip. Kids love making a clean pig messy on purpose.

Questions parents and teachers ask
Why do pigs roll in mud?
Pigs cannot sweat much, so they roll in mud to cool their skin. The mud also helps protect them from sunburn and bugs.
What colors are real pigs?
Pigs can be pink, black, brown, reddish ginger or spotted. Pink is the color most picture books use, but a spotted or black pig is just as real.
What sound words can toddlers practice with a pig page?
Oink is a fun one to say while coloring. You can also practice pig, piglet, snout and mud.
