Learn about baby goats with an interactive story book reading and drawalong activity! This one-time class will center around baby farm animals, focusing on goats. Supplemented with plush animals, we will have an interactive question-and-answer time about goats and baby farm animals. Finally, we will draw a goat together, step-by-step. We will read the book "Are You Kidding?" by Steph and Vivi Allosso (a homeschool mom and her seven-year-old daughter) which tells the story of Margo the goat and her twin goat kids. As we read, we will learn and discuss the different farm animals in the book. We will also talk about some goat terms, and meet the twins after they are born. This class does not feature live goats.
