Fun Dr. Seuss Activities:

1. Oh, the Places You’ll Go! Craft and Writing Activity

This craft and writing activity inspired by the Dr. Seuss book Oh, The Places You’ll Go!was a big hit with my kids! They both enjoyed crafting up their own mini suitcases from brown paper lunch bags. Later, they added index cards to draw pictures and outline some of the details for upcoming adventures they are planning! Details here.

2. Red Fish, Blue Fish Handmade Card Craft

This Dr. Seuss Day craft is inspired by the book One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish to make a card decorated with fish! After reading the book, this would be a great project to work on listening skills (following directions), developing fine motor skills, and even a bit of practice using scissors. Details here.
