Learn about goat kidding, hatching chicks, and llamas from a real farmer! We'll read three different indie books with stuffed props, with discussion and a drawing activity for each. Recommended for ages 3-8.

Course Description

Join us as we check out three great books about farm animals -- two of which were illustrated by a 7-year-old homeschooler! -- then draw pictures of the animals we meet in the stories!

This three-part self-paced story time class centers around baby farm animals, focusing on goats, chickens, and llamas. Supplemented with plush animals, video lessons read the stories aloud, asking interactive questions about the text as we go. Lesson one is about goat kidding and baby animals. Lesson two is all about chickens, eggs, nesting, chicks, and baby farm animals. Lesson three is the true story of a llama lost on Pike's Peak and all the animals he meets along the way.

Each lesson also features a separate draw-along video, showing learners how to draw the heroes of our stories on their own.
