How to make a volumetric paper pig for the New Year
It is not difficult to turn paper into a voluminous toy: we arm ourselves with pink colored paper, PVA glue, a simple pencil and scissors. First, we will make the base pig, and then we will decorate its image.
The craft consists of equal strips of thick cardboard, which are fastened in the center. Glue the top of the strip by superimposing the tips on top of each other. On the resulting funny ball we glue the pig's head cut out of pink paper

Children willingly play with such toys, inventing their own stories, and adults just admire the cute figurine.
What will come in handy at work
We use any plasticine: we are interested in the presence of pink.
A plastic knife and a toothpick will serve as auxiliary tools for forming a pig's face. We put a plastic board under the plasticine so as not to stain the surface of the table.
How to mold a plasticine pig
We offer you to see a photo where you can see how to mold a pig from plasticine.
When working with plasticine, a ladle of room temperature water will help. Hands are periodically lowered into it, then the plasticine does not stick to them, losing its shape
In order for the plasticine to become suitable for work, for some time it needs to be thoroughly crumpled in your hands. As soon as the piece has become soft and pliable, the toy can be formed.
By such actions, they create whole families of cute pigs that are suitable for the role of a gift

This dish is based on boiled mashed potatoes, inside which minced meat is spread with ready-made vegetables. There are also mashed boiled potatoes along the edges and on top. So that the dish does not crumble, the potatoes are boiled in their uniforms, and then they are peeled and crumpled along with a raw egg, salt and some flour
Outside, the pig is smeared with a raw egg with spices so that in the oven it becomes ruddy, yellow and beautiful. The dish is served hot to the table - it will cool down during the festive feast and will be easy to cut
