Why This Truffle Hunt Is So Fun to Color
Up front, the pig leans over a freshly dug hole holding several lumpy truffles, and it wears a collar with a little tag. Leaves, grasses and roots grow all around, with stones scattered on the ground. In the back stands a big barn with a hayloft, a cross-braced door and a weathervane, plus trees, rolling hills, a path and a fence. Clouds in the sky finish it off – a page made for long, cozy afternoons.

What Are Truffles, and Why Can Pigs Find Them?
Truffles are special mushrooms that grow underground instead of on top of the soil, usually near tree roots. People can hardly find them, but truffles give off a strong smell. A pig’s snout is so sensitive that it can smell truffles deep in the ground and dig them up. Since pigs love to gobble the truffles themselves, specially trained dogs often help with the search today. And while pigs dig, they loosen up the soil, too.
Ideas for Your Truffle Pig
Hide little scent bags filled with herbs around the yard or classroom and let kids sniff them out like truffle pigs. The finished coloring page makes a great “Best Nose” award.
