A first piggy bank is usually an exciting purchase for parent and child alike. I remember fondly putting pennies from my dad in my little piggy bank as a very little girl. I love a good craft kit and couldn’t think of anything better than a custom piggy bank. I had a lot of fun creating a custom bank with the 4M Make and Decorate Your Own Piggy Bank.
CHECK PRICE
The small ceramic piggy is packaged in a small box with the needed paint, instructions and paint brush. There is no difficulty in getting this set open, set up and ready for play.
The instructions tell you to use a pencil to outline the design for your very own Piggy Bank. Then use the paint and paintbrush included to paint your design. When finished you bake the ceramic pig to set the paint. Once cooled from the oven you have your very own, personally customized ceramic Piggy Bank.
I love this little set through and through. I was expecting the pig to be a little larger but I soon fell in love with his mini self.
I wish there had been some sort of high gloss sealant with this piggy bank set. I think baking is great for setting but the paint ends up with a matte finish which doesn’t look right to me.
Since this set can get messy and you are dealing with a fragile ceramic form, this is recommended for kids over 3 years of age.
I am no artist but the 4M Make and Decorate Your Own Piggy Bank sure made me feel like one. I ended up with the cutest little piggy bank and I can’t wait to make one with my son when he is old enough. This ends up being a really special keepsake and a great first for young kids. I give it two thumbs up!

When I was a little girl, I saw someone fold a dollar bill into a swan and I was totally mesmerized. I was convinced I was going to learn Origami and make myself all sorts of flowers, swans, and other paper creatures. That is, until I tried it and failed miserably. I have never tried […]

I had never had the opportunity to work with fragrance and the creation process before the Scientific Explorer My Own Perfumery Kit. I had a lot of fun with this kit and it teaches a lot about scent, chemicals and how they work together to create the perfect perfume.
