On this date, waaay back in 1878, fresh, cold milk hit the front porches of America for the first time.

We know how much kids love milk, and it’s served daily at The Grove School. It’s nutritious, yummy and interactive (milk mustaches!).

In honor of all things milk related, may we suggest…

Conversation-starters for kids
- Discuss where milk comes from.
- Check out these fun facts about milk and cows.
- Using stuffed animals, pretend you are at a dairy farm.
- Sample all kinds of dairy products (cheese, yogurt, ice cream) and talk about the differences.
- Make milkshakes!

Activities for kids
- Make “milk” collages by gluing white scrap paper onto dark colored paper. Use the unprinted side of old letters, printouts from work or junk mail.
- Sponge paint black cow spots onto white pieces of paper.
- Try one of these craft projects using milk containers.
- Learn how to draw a cow.
- Color this cute cow picture.
- Take a virtual tour of a dairy farm.
- Look at these pictures of cattle.
- Visit the Got Milk website for fun games and trivia.
