Australian action song for ages 0-6
Little Pink Piglet Song
A cheerful farmyard action song for trotting, digging and snuffling with a little pink piglet. It works well for playful movement, animal imitation and a quick burst of silliness.
Watch Little Pink Piglet
Press play and copy the actions together. The repeated chorus makes it easy for toddlers to join before they know every word.
What age is this song for?
Written for children aged 0-6. Babies can respond to the beat, toddlers can copy one movement at a time, and preschoolers can sing and act out the repeated chorus. It is a playful song, not a lesson or therapy programme.
When should we play it?
Try it for playful movement, animal imitation and a quick burst of silliness. One song lasts only a few minutes, so it can become a familiar cue without turning the whole routine into a production.

Intro
(oink, oink)
(hahaha)
Verse 1
Little pink piglet, trotting through the gate,
Snuffle-shuffle nose, oh you just can't wait.
Dig-dig, dig-dig, into the ground,
Snuffle-shuffle, giggle-shuffle, snuffling all around.
Chorus
Trot, trot, trot, little pink piglet,
Snuffle-shuffle, snuffle-shuffle, waggle your curly tail.
Trot, trot, trot, little pink friend,
Snuffle-shuffle, snuffle-shuffle, round the muddy bend.
Verse 2
Little pink piglet, rolling in the mud,
Snuffle-shuffle nose, with a splishy-splashy thud.
Splash-mud, splash-mud, wiggle and hop,
Snuffle-shuffle, giggle-shuffle, never gonna stop.
Action Break
Can you trot like a piglet? (Trot, trot, trot!)
Can you dig like a piglet? (Dig-dig, dig-dig!)
Can you snuffle-shuffle? (Snuffle-shuffle!)
Little pink piglet... here we go! (hahaha)
Verse 3
Little pink piglet, munching on a pear,
Snuffle-shuffle nose, with a wiggle here and there.
Sniff-sniff, sniff-sniff, what can it be?
Snuffle-shuffle, giggle-shuffle, apples in the tree!
Bridge
Shhh, the little pink piglet is snoozing in the straw,
Tiny, tiny snuffles, with a muddy little paw.
The chickens are quiet, the barn is warm and deep,
And the little pink piglet is drifting off to sleep.
Shuffle... shuffle... nice and low,
Shuffle... shuffle... very, very slow.
Then up she pops, with a wiggle and a spin,
Ready to snuffle-shuffle - let the fun begin!
Final Chorus
Trot, trot, trot, little pink piglet,
Snuffle-shuffle, snuffle-shuffle, waggle your curly tail.
Trot, trot, trot, everyone can try,
Snuffle-shuffle, giggle-shuffle, kids and piglet say hi!
Outro
Goodbye, little pink piglet!
Snuffle-shuffle, giggle-shuffle...
Snuffle-shuffle, giggle-shuffle...
(hahaha)
