Dr. Seuss Week

Between my collection and the library we had about 16 Dr. Seuss books we could read this week.

Dr. Suess' birthday was March 3rd, so I decided to celebrate the week before. You need all the fun stuff you can get in this dreary winter weather! As always, pinterest made planning this week out way more fun.

I love Dr. Seuss books. There are some I can definitely live without, and I cannot believe how long some are!!! But still, they are amazing. We kicked off Dr. Seuss week by watching The Lorax for our family movie night. It was such a great movie! We had already read the book a couple of times and was fun to see what spin they put on it for the movie. We definitely recommend it!

Monday was One Fish Two Fish

Red Fish Blue Fish (Blueberry muffin), Fish Sandwiches and Pink Ink

We painted our hands to make fish and colored a coloring page that looked like the book cover. Lorelei decided to make hers look just like the book, including writing the words next to the fish. I meant to take a picture of her holding them both but forgot. Makin can wink while drinking pink ink. :) We also did an action activity from Dr. Seuss' ABC and had fun with those actions. In the pic they are being "Itchy Itchy Ichabod".

Wednesday Was Cat In The Hat

We painted cat whiskers with face paint, made cat hats (of course, you know we read the book each day right?) hat cat sandwiches, played pin the bow on the cat (big hit!),
and celebrated with Thing 1 and Thing 2 cupcakes.

Thursday Was Green Eggs and Ham

This is probably the one Seuss book we do not have that we may have to look at adding to our collection. :) It is just fun! Probably one of the group's favorites for sure.

Real Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast

I will not eat them in a car, I will not eat them in a tree, I will not eat them on a train :)
Also had donuts treat that looked like the green eggs from the book. Yogurt/frosting to make green in middle.

This day we also did a little hunt themed like Wocket In My Pocket. The kids drew little monsters. I then made a list for them to do a hunt after I hid the monsters around the house. Example: Look for the Nink in the _____ and then they went to find it at its location when they filled in the blank.

Thursday evening Lorelei said, "We should have a green bath!!!" Brad googled whether or not our kids would turn green and it looked safe, so we decided to go for it. Makin said no way and got out of the tub while Brad added the drops. Makin then asked Lorelei, "Are you turning green?" and when she said no, he was super-excited to hop back in the tub after his sister had tested it for him. :) They thought it was tons of fun.

Fun School Work Seuss Packets All Week!!!

Friday was supposed to be a Horton Hears A Who craft, but we ended up running too many errands and didn't make time for it. Not sure if we will fit in later or not. They both loved both Horton books and love the repetitiveness. It was so much fun having so many special activities to brighten our week. Next week, however, is all blank paper and simple lunches for this Mom! :)
