Pick Your Nose!

Pig nose

Use paper cups and other household supplies to make animal noses.

What You Need

  • yarn
  • paper cups
  • pink duct tape or pink paper (for the pig)
  • pipe cleaners (for the mole)
  • tan duct tape or tan paper (for the mole)
  • silver duct tape (for the elephant)
  • newspaper (for the elephant)

What You Do

    1. Elephant Nose
      1. Wad up two sheets of newspaper and twist into the shape of an elephant’s trunk. Then wrap strips of silver duct tape around the newspaper.
      2. Cover the cup with duct tape.
      3. Cut a large “X” in the bottom of the cup. Push the trunk into the opening and tape into place.
      4. Attach a 12″ piece of yarn to both sides of the cup.

    3. Mole Nose
      1. Cover the cup with tan duct tape or tan paper. Cut two holes in the bottom of the cup about 3/4″ apart.
      2. Cut two pipe cleaners in half. Thread them through the two holes so that they stick out the bottom of the cup.
      3. Bend the pipe cleaners to look like the “fingers” on a mole’s nose.
      4. Attach a 12″ piece of yarn to both sides of the cup.
