Twice the luck: this piglet brings two good-luck charms at once, because it's carrying a four-leaf clover in its mouth! This lucky charm coloring page is drawn in a semi-realistic style full of fine lines. Print it for free and color it with care.
Why older kids love this piglet
The piglet stands on all four legs and glances sideways with a cheeky look. Fine lines on the tummy, legs and back show skin folds and curves that you can bring out with shading. The big clover with four heart-shaped leaves dangles from its mouth on a thin stem. Tufts of grass and tiny flowers grow in the meadow below.

What makes a four-leaf clover so special?
A clover usually has three leaves. Only very rarely does one grow with four β so if you find one, you really are lucky. That's why the four-leaf clover is a good-luck charm, and in Germany people often give little potted clovers as New Year's gifts. Paired with a pig, it's a double wish for good luck. A young pig is called a piglet, and pigs have an amazing sense of smell for sniffing out food in the ground.
Fun ideas with the piglet
Turn the picture into a good-luck card and write your New Year's wish next to it. In spring, go on a clover hunt and glue a pressed leaf next to the piglet.
