These cute little piglets, sweet enough to win the heart of the big bad wolf, are so cute, they look like they just stepped out of a fairy tale. (The directions below are for one costume.) For detailed illustrations of the various parts of this costume, click here.

Prep Time: Under 1 hour
What you need:
 1- by 2-foot piece of pink polar fleece
3 pipe cleaners
Double-sided tape
Two 9- by 12-inch dark pink felt rectangles
Baseball cap
Overalls
Pair of pink socks
Black permanent marker or fabric marker
Pink shirt
Pink face paint
Rubber pig nose (sold at many party stores)
Seasons: Halloween
Materials: fabric, markers, paints
Instructions:
1.Cut out and attach a pair of pink fleece pig ears to the top of the baseball cap with double-sided tape. Accent the pig ears by taping darker pink felt triangles to the fronts. Add a curly pig tail to the seat of your piglet's overalls. Shape the pig tail into a squiggle before attaching it.
2.Transform the pink socks into cleft pig hooves your child wears on her hands by drawing a triangular hoof line on each one with a black permanent marker or fabric marker. Color your child's cheeks with face paint and have her put on her pig nose.
3.Supply your three little pigs with their building materials. Tie one length of yarn or twine around a bundle of sticks and another around a handful of straw or raffia. For bricks, tie together a few small rectangular tea boxes covered with red duct tape.

Three Little Pigs Costumes

I'm not really sure why this costume has received such low ratings, especially when there are no comments, because I found it to be extremely easy, very affordable, and really cute. Most of the items needed were things I already had. And even though my 3 children were originally going as 3 farm animals, when my older son saw me making the tail for this costume he wanted to be a pig too. So, my children are going as The 3 Little Pigs, I'm The Mommy Pig, and my husband is The Big Bad Wolf. For all 5 costumes, I spent a grand total of $11.70. For costumes that cost so little and truly took very little time to make, I've just got to say that when we took the kids to a pumpkin patch last weekend in their costumes, they received so many compliments. I think this is a great idea not just for parents of multiples, but for any parent of 3 or 4 children (since 1 child could be the wolf) who is looking for themed costumes.
