The 3 Little Pigs Retelling

Once upon a time, there were three little pigs.

Made from pom-poms, google eyes, felt, craft foam, curling ribbon, pipe cleaners, and hot glue

It was time for the three little pigs to go out into the world and make their own homes.  The first little pig was very lazy and built his home from straw because it was the easiest and fastest way.

The second little pig (who was only a little less lazy) built his home from sticks.

The third little pig was a hard worker.  He built his home from bricks even though they were very heavy and it was hard to do.

One night, the Big Bad Wolf decided he was hungry and wanted some little pigs for dinner. (The Little Bad Wolf was not interested in participating and wanted to turn her wolf nose into a princess hat.) 

Made from brown and white construction paper, tape, and stretchy ribbon

The Big Bad Wolf came to the first house.  He said, "Little pig, Little Pig, Let me in!" and the pig (who did not want to be eaten for dinner) replied, "Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin." The wolf said, "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!" and that's just what he did!

The little pig was so scared that he raced to his brother's house.  Unfortunately, the Big Bad Wolf followed and demanded, "Little pigs! Little pigs! Let me in!" and they replied, "Not by the hairs of our chinny-chin-chins." The Big Bad Wolf was really getting hungry now and yelled, "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!" and that's just what he did!

Those little pigs were terrified and raced to their brother's house.  That Big Bad Wolf was hot on their curly tails and demanded once more, "Little pigs, little pigs, Let me in!" "Not by the hairs of our chinny-chin-chins." they said confidently, knowing they were in a sturdy brick house.  The Big Bad Wolf was mad by now and said, "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!"  And he tried.  And tried.

But he couldn't blow that brick house down.  He eventually wandered off to have grilled cheese for dinner instead (at least in our version.)
