Minipig Play Date - or - A Fun School Holiday Project

No.3 grandson is passionate about his real life guinea pigs

Percy and Jasper

so,

 naturally ;)

he found some Minipigs in his

Christmas Stocking.

His comment was

"Wouldn't it be neat if we did a

Miniature Guinea Pig Play Date Scene,

so we did.

Of course, in real life, boy guinea pigs

mostly prefer to have only one male friend

but Minipigs get on splendidly in larger groups ;)

While I worked on the play pen

Grandson made the Pigloo

Piggies love new experiences.

Percy and Jasper did some excited zoomies

and then settled down to the serious business of

filling their tummies.

Cheryl and Kevin both being elderly chaps

thought the pigloo looked comfy

and strolled over to take up residence

and as for young Alf,

after some youthful popcorning,

(which is another thing excited piggies enjoy)

he did what he always does,

he teased everyone.

That's him trying to fit 3 piggies inside a two piggie pigloo.

We used mat board 3 3/4" square for the base,

1/8" square wood for posts and coffee stirrers for rails,

some sort of fuzzy fabric for the grass,

mat board, light card and 1/8" dowel for the pigloo

and raffia as miniature oaten hay.
