I made one for a preschool program.
I used two chairs, a poster board cutout of a cow, a broom handle and a
surgical glove.
Poke tiny holes in each of the fingers of the surgical glove, fill with warm
milk, and attach to the broom handle (we used duct tape).
The kids loved it because you actually have to "milk" the surgical glove.
The kids were having such fun that a lot of the parnets jumped in.
Depending on budget, you can create things with more lasting materials.
