The Three Little Pigs Houses

[en español]

Materials you will need for all the houses are

  • the top of a milk carton (adults should cut the top off for the kids) or use a single serving carton and you won't need to cut it,
  • scissors,
  • tape or glue,
  • a marker
  • OPTIONAL:  brown paper (we used cut up paper bags)

STRAW HOUSE (three different options of materials):

  • some sort of straw...  We used packing material, you could also use raffia or dried weeds from outside (this is great fun to collect on a nature walk),
     
    OR
  • use yellow tissue paper or crepe paper, cut into 4 or 5 inch strips.  Twist the strips of it into pieces of straw (just roll/crunch them between your palms, like making snakes out of playdough)
  • OR
  • use the Straw Template I've provided.   Just cut the sheet into pieces to fit around your house.

WOOD HOUSE (three different options of materials):

  • some sort of twigs...  Use popsicle sticks, toothpicks or real twigs from outside (this is also great fun to collect on a nature walk),
     
    OR
  • Roll pieces of paper bag around a straw and tape/glue to make logs or use newspaper to make your logs and then paint them brown.  For more detailed directions, see the instructions for Abe Lincoln's cabin.
  • OR
  • use the Wood Template I've provided.  Just cut the sheet into pieces to fit around your house.

BRICK HOUSE:

  • Suggestion from Nicole, one of our viewers:  One idea I had for making the bricks on the brick house was to cut a sponge into a square and dip it in tempera paint, then sponge the bricks on the milk carton top.
  • Suggestion from Jean, one of our viewers:  I have just printed the sheets for the "Three Little Pigs" story and I have a suggestion for the brick house, I plan to use legos.
     
    OR
  • use the Brick Template I've provided.  Just cut the sheet into pieces to fit around your house.

CORK PIG:

  • Tasha (age 6) insisted that the toilet paper roll pig and pig paper bag puppet weren't good because the pig wouldn't be able to get in the front door of the house (unlike her big sister, this fact did not bother Kaitlyn - age 2 - in the least.  She was quite happy with a tiny house and a big paper bag pig puppet to go with it).
  • Anyways, Tasha made this craft up and I thought I'd share it with you quickly, just in case you have children who are aware of proportion, too!
  • Take a cork from a wine bottle and paint it pink or wrap it in pink construction paper.
  • Cut out a white paper snout (or use a white dried bean), white paper eyes (or use googly eyes) and pink triangle ears (pink construction paper or colour white paper with a pink marker)
  • Glue all this to the head.
  • Cut out a spiral tail (cut a pink circle and then cut it in a spiral shape)  Glue the tail to the back.
  • Glue 4 beads or 4 dried beans to the bottom as legs.  (arrange the legs on a piece of paper, put glue on top of them and set the pig on top of the glue...  This is lots easier than putting the glue on the pig and trying to stick the legs on).
  • I'm assuming your container has been opened at some point...  Staple or tape the part that you opened closed again.
  • Cover your house with paper. 
    • We used brown paper bag, cut it in a long strip the width of our carton and wrapped it around the carton.
    • We then taped it (you could glue).
    • You could use white paper instead.
  • Draw a door on the house (and windows if you want) with a marker
  • Apply glue on one side of the house.  Glue your chosen material/template piece onto the side.
  • Do this with all the sides.
  • Cut a piece of brown (or white paper) to be a roof size (ours was about 8 inches x 5 inches for a 2L carton, but it will differ depending on whether you use a 2L, 1L or single serving carton).
  • Fold your roof down the middle and then unfold again.
  • Cover your roof (top) with the chosen material/template piece.  You can actually use a different kind of roof material if you want to.
  • Put glue on the top of your carton and carefully place your roof on top.

OPTIONAL:

  • You can take a sheet of cardboard (one panel from an empty cereal box will work well) and glue your house to it.
  • Add ground:
    • Cover the cardboard with grass (wadded up bits of tissue paper or construction work well for this)
      or
    • make a fall scene by adding a few bits of orange/red/yellow tissue paper or construction paper leaves
      or
    • make a winter scene with cotton balls.
  • Add trees:
    • Take pinecones, paint green (if you want) and glue to the scene as trees.
      or
    • Take a twig.  Cut bits of green (or fall coloured) paper and glue to the twig as leaves.  Make a mound of playdough or cut a smidge of floral foam and glue it on the cardboard and stick your twig in it.
  • Make a path from small pebbles or sand (apply glue to the cardboard and pour sand/pebbles over top.  Let dry and then go outside and gently tip is over to remove excess).
  • Add a cork pig if you like.

The Three Little Pigs | Sooper Books

Downin the valley was a farm. On the farm there was a pigsty. And in the pigsty lived Mummy Pig and The Three Little Pigs.

“You are growing so fast my dears,” said Mummy Pig to the three little Pigs. “Soon there'll be no space for you here. It is time for you to leave the farm and build your own houses to live in.”

Before leaving, Mummy Pig gave each of the three little Pigs a packed lunch box and told them something very important. So she said, “You must remember to build your house out of bricks. Bricks are very strong and they'll keep you safe no matter what.”

The Three Little Pigs set off down the lane to the brickyard, leaving Mummy Pig all alone in the sty. 

After a short while they came across the next door farmer ploughing his field.

The first little Pig thought to himself, “By golly, if I build my house out of this farmer’s straw then I’ll save myself a trip to the brickyard and build my house in half the time!”

So the first little Pig said to the farmer, “I’d like a big bundle of your finest straw kind Sir. I'll use it to build my own house!”

The farmer—a little surprised by this request—happily obliged. He gave the first little Pig ten bales of his finest straw and the Pig built his straw house. The house looked sublime. There was not a single straw out of place and the little Pig was very proud of himself.

A big bad Wolf—who had been watching from afar—strolled up to the straw house, knocked at the door, and said in a low, gruff voice, “Little Pig, little Pig, let me come in. ”

“Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!” replied the little Pig.

“Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!” said the big bad Wolf.

Without delay the Wolf took a huge breath in. Then he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house in. The straw house looked wonderful, but it was extremely weak. It fell down in an instant and the big bad Wolf gobbled up the first little Pig.

Meanwhile, the second and third little Pigs had continued to walk down the lane to the brickyard.

They soon came across another farm. This was an apple farm and the farmer was busy chopping down the branches of the apple trees. An enormous pile of sticks lay on the ground next to the farmer.

The second Little Pig thought to herself “By golly, I’ve got it! I’ll make my house out of sticks. It will save my tired legs from walking further and my house will be built faster!”

So the second little Pig said to the farmer, “I’d like to have that enormous pile of sticks kind Sir. I will use it to build my house!”

The farmer—who was looking for a way to get rid of his sticks—happily obliged. He gave the second little Pig all of the sticks and the Pig built her stick house. The house looked fabulous. There was not a single stick out of place and the little Pig was very proud of herself.

The Big Bad Wolf—fresh from gobbling the first little Pig—strolled up to the stick house, knocked at the door, and said in a low and gruff voice, “Little Pig, little Pig, let me come in.”

“Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!” replied the second little Pig.

“Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!” said the Big Bad Wolf.

Without delay the Big Bad Wolf took a huge breath in. Then he huffed and he puffed and he blew the house in. The stick house looked superb, but it too was extremely weak. So it fell down in an instant and the Big Bad Wolf gobbled up the second little Pig.

Meanwhile, the third little Pig had made it all the way to the brickyard. He went up to the man in charge of the yard and said “Hello kind Sir, I would like a large pile of your bricks to build my house.”

The man—who, as it turned out, was extremely generous—happily obliged.  He gave the third little Pig all the bricks he wanted and the Pig built his brick house. The house not only looked tremendous, it was extremely strong. The third little Pig had taken the time to build his house well and he was extremely proud of himself.

The Big Bad Wolf—fresh from gobbling the second little Pig—strolled up to the brick house, knocked at the door, and said in a low and gruff voice, “Little Pig, little Pig, let me come in.”

“Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!” replied the third little Pig.

“Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!” said the Big Bad Wolf.

Without delay the Big Bad Wolf took a huge breath in. Then he huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed, but the brick house was much too strong and well built to be blown down.  

This made the Big Bad Wolf wild with rage, so he devised a nasty plot to fool the third little Pig into coming out of his brick house. 

Tap tap tap came from the window.

“Little Pig, I know a farmer with some marvelous turnips. You love turnips don’t you little Pig? Shall we go there tomorrow and get some?” said the Big Bad Wolf in his low gruff voice.

“Very well,” said the little Pig, “I do love turnips. What time do you want to go?”

“Seven o’clock sharp,” said the Wolf, “and don’t be late!”

The third little Pig may have been little, but he wasn't stupid. He was, after all, the little Pig that made his house from bricks—as his mother had wisely proposed. So the little Pig got up early, filled a sack full of turnips and was back in his house long before seven o’clock. 

When the Wolf arrived he said, “Little Pig, are you ready to go?”

“Silly Wolf!” said the little Pig, “I’ve been. My turnips are already bubbling away in a huge pot for my dinner. ”

​The Wolf was incensed. He was so angry he felt sure he could have exploded, but he suddenly had a thought and pulled himself together.

“Little Pig,” he said, “I know a place where there is a wonderful apple tree. You love apples don’t you little Pig.”

“Oh yes, I do,” said the Pig, “Where is this wonderful tree you speak of?”

“Just over the hill,” said the Wolf, “I’ll be back here at six o’clock tomorrow and we can go together to get the apples. So you had better not deceive me this time little Pig!”

The little Pig woke at five the following morning and went over the hill to the big apple tree. He had hoped to help himself before the Wolf arrived, but the Wolf was too clever for that. 

The little Pig saw the Wolf approaching—which, as you can imagine, terrified him greatly—and quickly climbed the tree.

‘Hello, Wolf,” said the little Pig from up in the tree, “Wait there while I find the biggest, plumpest, juiciest apple for you. ”

The Wolf waited.

The little Pig picked a big juicy apple, then called down, “I’ll throw it to you Wolf. Here it comes!”  The Pig then threw the apple as far away as he could. 

And while the Wolf was away collecting the apple—which took a long time—the little Pig jumped down from the tree and ran safely home to his brick house.

By now the Wolf had had enough.

He followed the little Pig home and called through the window, “Little Pig, little Pig, I am going to eat you up. I will climb upon the top of your house, come down the chimney and gobble you up in a single bite!”

Hearing this, the little Pig quickly made a roaring fire and placed upon it a large pot full of water. As the Wolf came down the chimney the little Pig lifted the lid of the pot. The Wolf fell in with a plop—head first—and the little Pig replaced the lid quick as a flash.

 The little Pig then boiled the Wolf, gobbled him up for his supper and lived happily ever after.

nine0000 Three little pigs-2020. From what to build a reliable house? -Surgut News

Partner material

Everyone knows the plot of the tale of the three little pigs. Two of the three brothers approached the issue of housing construction not responsibly enough, as a result of which they had to escape from the wolf under the roof of the house of the most intelligent of the brothers - Naf-Naf. Now, of course, no one will come up with the idea of ​​building a house from straw or wooden sticks, but the plot with the choice of materials for the walls does not lose its relevance. Brick, timber, frame, aerated concrete? The wolf will not eat the owner with any choice, but other equally unpleasant problems may arise with the operation of the finished house. nine0003

Let's imagine that the plot of the fairy tale was moved to 2020 and help the brothers make their choice.

Nif-Nif and frame house.

The advantages of a frame house are in the low cost of materials and installation, light weight, which allows the house to be installed on piles or strip foundations, as well as in relative accessibility and high speed of installation. Such a house can be assembled with your own hands.

The sequence of work is simple - a wooden frame and sheathing are erected on the foundation, the walls can be filled with mineral wool, foam plastic or other materials. In order to prevent such a house from rotting, burning and being eaten by insects, the walls are impregnated with special solutions. It is possible to build a small frame house in a season; under a nice sheathing, there will be no visual difference with a house made of more solid materials. But it is there, even if it is not visible to the eye. nine0003

A frame house is short-lived - the service life of such a house is no more than 25 years. After this period, the wooden base begins to rot and be undermined by insects and rodents. It ignites more easily during force majeure, it has much worse sound insulation compared to other wall materials, and the impregnation of the walls, and the materials themselves, are far from environmentally friendly.

It is also important to find a developer who will assemble the frame house correctly. If, like Nif-Nif, he has hooves instead of hands, then even a new house may have problems with thermal insulation. A frame house is rarely year-round without significant expenses for space heating during the cold period. Well, sooner or later, you will most likely find an animal worse than a wolf under the skin - a mouse. nine0003



Nuf-Nuf and a log house.

Timber houses really look like from a fairy tale. The color of the tree, its smell - lovers of eco-friendly housing will be delighted. Wood is lighter than brick or aerated concrete, so a not very deep foundation or piles are suitable for houses made of timber. Lumber of poor quality and drying requires a long shrinkage - from one year, but most modern houses made of timber are built from profiled ordinary or glued timber of good drying. Such materials allow you to equip the interior decoration of the house after the construction of the house under the roof, and the new generation beam itself minimizes the cost of filling gaps due to its shape and grooves, and allows you not to spend much on interior decoration - the tree itself is beautiful. nine0003

However, such a tower also has disadvantages. Firstly, high-quality timber is not cheap, and with a complex house design, its price can be comparable to a house from the same gas blocks. Secondly, the tree requires care. Termites and fungus do not sleep. To protect the wood, impregnation treatment will be required, regularity - at least once every 5 years, depending on the climatic conditions of the construction region. Thirdly, fire hazard - everything is clear and without jokes, without a competent electrician you can’t cope here. Well, the last and one of the most important disadvantages of a house made of timber, which few people think about when looking at beautiful interiors in the popular style - the heat-insulating properties of wood with a standard timber width of 200 mm are two times worse than brick walls. Without additional finishing in a real Russian winter, it will be cold in the house, which means that the house will need to be insulated from the outside or from the inside. Thus, the charm of a completely wooden eco-friendly house as its advantage pales a little. nine0003



Naf-Naf and the brick house.

Brick is the strongest and most durable material for house walls. Porous ceramic brick has high heat and noise insulation properties, does not absorb moisture and does not burn. A brick house looks aesthetically pleasing and, with the right construction technology, will stand unchanged for decades. However, there are nuances that the fairy tale with a happy ending about piglets kept silent about.

Naf-Naf, unlike his brothers, would hardly have built a house in one summer or even in one year. Brick is heavy and needs a solid foundation. That is, in reality, at such a pace of construction, the wolf from the fairy tale would have managed to eat everyone. But fortunately, we live in the real world and we have time. nine0003

Important: the construction of a brick house must proceed in compliance with all technologies, otherwise the house may crack after shrinkage. A brick house at first glance seems to be more expensive than alternative options, but if you study the issue in more detail, it will turn out not at all. Maintenance of a brick house does not require special care, unlike others: frame or wooden houses, for the maintenance of which it is necessary to constantly allocate funds and time.

But still, if your goal is a reliable house for year-round living that will serve you for decades - brick is your choice. nine0003



Happy ending

If you, like Naf-Naf, decide to opt for building a brick house, LSR. Wall" - one of the largest manufacturers of building materials in Russia, offers its diverse range of ceramic bricks and clinker.

Distinction of ceramics “LSR. Wall" from competitors in the unique properties of bricks. For example, facade clinker is highly resistant to external influences, has high durability and aesthetics, including in aggressive environments. It has high strength and low water absorption.
