The little icing container and the ends of the packaging are perfect coins for my piggy bank. I walked all through the grocery store looking for my "coins" and found them. There are several different sizes, some the same as juice but most a bit or a lot smaller.

Then I tried to find a matching pencil case because the first had a nice big zipper. Argh...!so I finally found one with a window, and I replaced the zipper with one I had taken from a jacket. I cut my piggy out of the solid side of the pencil case. Trying to post a photo of the original. Much simpler than your lovely piggy! <br />Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07516104827071718292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384242.post-59933557086890648502016-11-30T22:43:21.101-05:002016-11-30T22:43:21.101-05:00I used the lids from 12-oz orange juice concentrat...I used the lids from 12-oz orange juice concentrate. They're about 2.5 inches in diameter, which is pretty big but seems to work well for little hands. Plus, you don't have to worry about any choking hazard!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03481029995823759150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384242.post-26246994600372323592016-11-30T22:30:04.086-05:002016-11-30T22:30:04.086-05:00My 2 year old grands love the piggy bank page.

My first book, I seemed to have a lid of some sort that was 2 inches. It might have been an old chocolate tin cover. Boo hoo, now they are plastic lids. So I thought limeade is 6 ounces, perfect...but the stores don't sell them any more! The 12 ounce cover just seems too big!
