Set the pigs and the conveyor belt aside for a moment, it’s time to make the Hogwash! Cut the top and short sides off a large box. Here’s what the finished conveyor belt looks like: The long strip allows you to do this (trust me, we tested it!). Why? You need to be able to load the pigs on the seats, then pull them through the Hogwash smoothly without having to repeatedly reach inside the machine. The first seat is placed 12.5″ from the front. Note the placement of the seats on the strip. Tape or hot glue each seat to a 1.25″ x 28″ strip of poster board. The tissue will keep the pig from popping off of the seat. Below are the 3 stages of seat construction – the sample cup, the tissue-wrapped cup, and the pig sitting on the seat. Wrap each paper sample cup with a strip of tissue paper (our strips were 1.5″ x 16″). First, hot glue 3 paper sample cups to the centers of 3 squares of poster board or tagboard (our squares were 2.5″ x 2.5″). The conveyor belt is a long, narrow strip of poster board with 3 “seats” attached to it. Repeat the above steps until you have 3 pigs. You can also use markers to draw the nose (we used a cute little dot sticker). Use extra snippets of paper to make pig ears, then draw the eyes and mouth with markers. We’ll begin with the pigs and the conveyor belt, then proceed to the Hogwash! First, wrap a toilet paper tube with pink construction paper. 1 hogwash sign template, printed on 8.5″ x 11″ card stock.1 large box (ours was 4.5” X 4.5” x 9” – a large tissue box works too!).I’ll give a general supply list below, and provide the specific sizes we used in the photo instructions. But plane crashes into the pig pen! Is the Farmer mad? Nope! He discovers that mud can actually be quite fun!īecause this project involves a conveyor belt, the measurements of the different pieces of really depend on the dimensions of your box. Finally, he loads his crop duster with water and shampoo and takes off.

They don’t want a wash! He tries everything (sneaking, yelling, bribing, pretending to be a pizza delivery man) but nothing works. But he hits a snag when he gets to the hogs. It’s spring cleaning on the farm! The industrious Farmer scrubs his way through the horses, ducks, cows, goats, cats, and dogs. We read Hogwash, written by Karma Wilson, and illustrated by Jim McMullan (Little, Brown, 2011). Just send the gang through the Hogwash! Our patented conveyor belt technology will carry your pigs through a soaking, soaping, scrubbing, rinsing, and drying.
