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 – 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.

Color ideas for the piglet

With shading, the piglet looks almost real.

πŸ– Shaded pink
Light pink with darker folds on the tummy and legs adds shape.
πŸ€ Rich clover
Two shades of green bring the clover to life.
🌸 Meadow flowers
The tiny blooms in the grass can be white, yellow or purple.
🟫 Earthy ground
A touch of brown under the grass adds depth.
πŸ’‘ Coloring Tip: Shade lightly along the fine fold lines and keep the middle of the tummy and head lighter – the piglet will look round and three-dimensional.
