In reading the delightful children's book,
"No Moon, No Milk!"
, our team was inspired to create this virtual learning guide and take a trip to the local dairy farm. Follow the guide, which includes a Read-Aloud, Dakin Dairy Scrapbook, and STEAM learning.

The read-aloud video was produced to look like a scrapbook. Click below to learn more about making your own scrapbook at home!
The following read-aloud of "The Scraps Book" is a great resource for adults and older siblings to learn more about working with 'scraps' to make a scrapbook.
These 'scraps' can be used in the Play to Learn activities!

- Click the link above to watch the video and then play to learn! With your child, follow the Magic Milk Experiment instructions to see what happens.
- By dipping watercolor paper in the Magic Milk, children can also create beautiful marbled paper.
- Experiment with milk and paper. Does Magic Milk work with different flavors of milk? What about soy milk? Can you create a marbled paper design on printer paper or construction paper?

Create Your Own Learning Scrapbook
- Talk to your child about what they learned from watching our virtual field trip. Consider the milk-making process at Dakin Dairy, the farm, and the cows.
- Together, create a scrapbook page focused on these newly learned facts!
- Gather supplies: paper, crayons, markers, printed pictures, pictures cut out of magazines, found-objects/"scraps," stickers, glue, scissors, etc.
- Use the marbled paper created in the Magic Milk experiment or any large paper as a background.
- Arrange and glue the materials so all drawings, pictures, and text are visible.
