March 1st is National Pig Day! Mostly celebrated in the Midwest, this special day was created in 1972 to give the pig recognition for being “one of man’s most intellectual and domesticated animals.” Check with your local zoo or even the children’s museum to see if they are planning anything fun for the kids! Meanwhile, check out ten of our favorite pig crafts that you can make!
