The kids recently were able to try milking a cow. Such a fun experience! We then learned how easy it is to make butter. The kids were totally fascinated. I will share the whole process soon. However, until then here is an adorable cow craft that is so easy to make.

This is the perfect project to work on simple cutting skills.

No two spots are alike and they are meant to be a little irregular. Which translates to… the wonky the cutting, the cutter the cow! Perfect for little preschoolers learning to use scissors.

I drew a simple oval shape on the pink paper for the nose. Although as you can see, a few of the kids used it as a face. Love the little wiggly eyes glued on the nose! So sweet.

Favorite quote…”Of corse a cows smile, that is what makes them so cute!”

A slightly less happy cow, but totally adorable. I love all the tiny tiny spots. Can you tell this little sweet heart wants to cut all day! Scrap paper and a pair of scissors, and she is a happy camper!
