Why choose a pig plush for your child?

The pig is an animal familiar to the youngest. It enjoys a significant popularity among children.

Firstly, the pig is a major animal in the farm theme. Farm animals are a very present subject in the children’s universe. It is found in games, books and documentaries. The pig is one of the first animals recognised and identified by the child. It is one of the first words learnt in the theme of animals.

Secondly, the pig is a recurring animal in children’s stories. There are countless stories that feature pigs, the most famous being The Three Little Pigs. Moreover, this famous tale has been turned around many times and there are multiple versions of the original tale. Also, the characters of The Three Little Pigs can be found in other unpublished stories (Geoffroy de Pennart).

The pig can also be found in other contemporary stories published by children’s literature publishers: La tototte, Cache-cache cochons, Un cochon dans la mare, Le cochon magique, etc.
Whether in The Three Little Pigs or in other stories in which the pig is a character, the pig is always represented in a positive light. In The Three Little Pigs, the pig is physically weak against the wolf, but united with his brothers, he overcomes the carnivore. It is also a builder, a far-sighted animal.

By choosing a pig plush, the very small child finds a structuring animal, a stable element of his childhood. He can count on the pig, this solid animal.

Your child will be able to retell stories by heart by playing his pig plush as a story character. The pig is a friend that accompanies him throughout his childhood.
Finally, the pig also evokes the piggy bank. This object of savings and foresight is largely represented by a round pig which symbolises abundance and wealth.
