Dr. Seuss

We read The Cat in the Hat this morning as part of our Dr. Seuss week.  To go along with our story we made blue "hair" like Thing 1 and Thing 2.  I gave each child a piece of blue paper.....I didn't have big blue paper, so I took 2 smaller pieces and taped them together.  Then each child was to cut strips down the paper to make it look like hair.....I drew a line close to the bottom so they wouldn't cut all the way through. 

 

When they were all finished, I gave them each a number to write on their circle......we went in birth order from yongest to oldest, so we had Thing 1 up to Thing 7!

It's hard to read their circles, but they are in numerical order.  They all loved their blue hair!  I think they turned out super cute, but next time I think I would double up on the paper to make them have more hair.

 

When celebrating Dr. Seuss' Birthday, you have to have green eggs and ham.....it's a must!  So here is our lunch we had today.

Green Eggs and Ham (green eggs and ham)

Yink's Pink Ink from One Fish Two Fish (pink milk)

 We had such a fun morning with all the Dr. Seuss stuff and will be doing more on Thursday.....will be making some truffula trees like the ones on The Lorax!
