Reading was always a part of our nightly routine with our daughter and Dr. Seuss was one of our favorites. He is a classic!
These snacks and craft ideas will be perfect for celebrating Dr. Seuss’s day.
Easy Dr. Seuss Snacks
Strawberry & Vanilla {the red hat} Parfait & Hat Kabobs
Ingredients you will need:
- Strawberries (for both)
- Vanilla Yogurt (for the parfait)
- Marshmallows (for the kabobs)
Directions for making the Parfaits and Hat Kabobs
For both the parfait and kabobs you are going to go back and forth and layering on the ingredients.
The parfait with the yogurt and strawberries and the hat kabobs with strawberries and marshmallows.
It is that simple for a fun and yummy treat.
Easy Dr. Seuss Crafts
Thing 1 and Horton Hears A Who Handprint Crafts
Supplies you will need:
- Acrylic Paint (red, white, and blue)
- Sharpie
- Crayons or Markers
- Lettered Stickers (optional)
Directions for creating a Thing 1 Handprint Craft
Thing 1 was created by using red paint on all your fingers (except your ring finger) and the palm of your hand.
Try to spread your pinkie and thumb wide enough so it creates the arms.
Once you let that part dry you can paint on the belly area with white paint.
The head requires blue paint on all of your fingers and white paint on the palm of your hand.
After everything is all dry then go back in with a sharpie and draw on the face and thing 1 (or 2 if you want).
Directions for creating a Horton Hears a Who Handprint Craft
This craft was created by tracing your handprint and then drawing on the face, ears, tail, etc.
It was then colored with markers and crayons. I used lettered stickers for the quote but you could just use markers instead.
Remember your Horton doesn’t have to be perfect, just use your best artistic interpretation.
These four crafts and snacks are really easy but lots of fun. Who doesn’t like finger painting right?
