Cows eat mainly grass and provide most of the milk that people drink in the world. I remember learning once that cows have four stomachs but apparently that is untrue, they have four digestive compartments. They chew the cud (partially digested food) for up to eight hours every day. Cows are sacred animals in India, and are red/green colour blind. A real cow can be quite a scary sight for a small toddler, but they can be very sweet if presented in the right way!
Cow crafts
A paper plate cow - gorgeous and so simple.
Some printable pages to colour and make your own simple cow picture.
You can't beat toilet paper tubes for crafting - here's a lovely toilet roll tube cow.
A talking cow pop-up card would be fascinating for little ones to make, an adult will need to help make the opening mouth but toddlers will love helping to decorate it.
Cow activities
I must admit that I've not yet tried cake pops, but these cow cake pops don't look too difficult.
You can find a selection of cow pictures for colouring here, or just search for line drawing images of cows on Google images.
