Why Kids Love This Muddy Pig
The piglet looks out with huge, shiny eyes and a big open smile, and its cheeks are a little rosy. Lots of mud spots are stuck to its body, so kids can make those brown and keep the rest pink. Drops splash up all around the puddle, and a curly tail twirls at the back. Any child who loves jumping in puddles will see themselves right away.
🖨️ Step by Step: How to Print It Best
Click “Print” on the right, or download the image or PDF.
Letter or A4 in portrait, scaling set to “Fit to page” – the picture fits the sheet perfectly.

Why Do Pigs Love Mud?
Pigs can’t sweat the way people do. So when it’s warm, they roll around in mud, which is called wallowing. The wet mud cools them off and works like sunscreen to protect their skin from sunburn. Pigs are actually very clean animals: if they have enough space, they keep their bathroom spot far from where they sleep. That mud bath is a spa day, not a mess!
Fun Ideas for the Muddy Pig
Dab brown finger paint onto the mud spots with your fingertip so the picture gets a little muddy too. On your next rainy walk, play puddle jumping and oink like the piglet.
