Why Kids Love This Milk Truck
The truck has a big grin, round eyes and two little headlights. Behind the cab sits a large, rounded tank with a lid on top – a nice big space to color. The tires have treads, and there’s a small cylinder tucked along the side. In the background you’ll find a barn with a wide door, a bush and a winding road.

All About Milk Tanker Trucks
On a dairy farm, milk goes into a refrigerated tank right after milking to stay cold. Every so often, a milk tanker truck stops by and pumps the milk into its big tank through a hose. The inside of the tank is shiny stainless steel, which keeps the milk fresh on the trip. At the dairy plant, the milk is turned into drinking milk, butter, cheese and yogurt. Fun fact: a cow makes milk because she has had a calf.
What to Do with Your Finished Milk Truck
Draw a dairy plant at the edge of the page and act out milk’s journey from the barn to the fridge. Add empty yogurt cups and milk cartons to turn it into a hands-on classroom project.
