- Colored pencils, markers or watercolors

- Hole punch for the elastic holes
Print the template at actual size (100 %, not “fit to page”) on thick paper.

Play Ideas for Little Goats
Act out Three Billy Goats Gruff: the goats trip-trap across a pretend bridge made of pillows while the troll from our troll mask waits underneath. Pile up cushions as a rocky hill for goats to climb. In a guessing game, kids close their eyes and guess which goat just bleated. Then let the goats nibble green paper leaves gathered around the room.
Fun Facts About Goats
Goats are amazing climbers and can balance on steep, rocky ledges. They're curious and love to nibble leaves, twigs, and herbs. Like sheep, goats have sideways pupils that help them see almost all the way around. In many breeds, both males and females can grow horns and even beards. A baby goat is called a kid.
