How can we celebrate National Dairy Month?

School Field Trips

In school, some class rooms learn about milk, cream and how it's made during the month of June. Many schools take field trips to dairies and the kids even get to milk a cow right at the dairy too. Not all schools do this because many schools are not in session during the month of June. Many homeschooled kids go on field trips too. Maybe even more that regular schooled kids. It's not uncommon for homeschoolers to bring all their kids together as a group for a learning day of fun.

Sunday School

Even Sunday school classes take advantage of Dairy month by teaching how God created the animals and how cows provide us with nutritious milk. It's not uncommon for Church to end in a homemade ice cream social in the month of June. June is a great month for it because the weather in the United States is perfect for it. So celebrate National Dairy month by planning your very own outdoor event and enjoy your favorite ice cream recipe. You can't go wrong with milkshake treats. Kids love milkshakes and smoothies. In fact adults do to.

Recipe Sharing

Since June is a favorite month for companies to promote dairy products, it's a fantastic time to find great recipes that use dairy products too. We have some great recipes in our directory ourselves.
