Why Older Kids Love This Milking Scene
Drawn in a semi-realistic, field-guide style, the goat has curved horns, a chin beard, an udder and a short tail. The farmer, with a braid, overalls and rubber boots, leans in to milk into a metal pail. Behind them are wooden boards and beams, a hay rack full of hay and a window looking out on a pasture and fence. Older kids can work on wood grain, fur and light.

All About Goats and Goat Milk
A goat makes milk after she has babies – the milk is really meant for her kids, as baby goats are called. A goat is pregnant for about five months, and twins are common. Just like in the picture, female goats can have a beard and horns too. Goats love leaves, twigs, herbs and hay, and they’re pickier than people think: they test unfamiliar things with their lips first. Goat milk is used to make things like goat cheese.
What to Do with Your Finished Picture
