Have children draw a favorite scene from Ten Dirty Pigs/Ten Clean Pigs. Ask questions about their drawings, for example, How many pigs are in the tub? What are they doing? How did they use the water to clean themselves up? Did they pour it from a container? Let it drip it from the faucet? Ask them to include water drops to indicate how the pigs or objects are dripping wet. Help children write their names on their drawings.
