We did the first few pages of One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish on the flannel board and then read selections from it as well as I Can Read with My Eyes Shut!
We made Lorax Mustaches for our craft. I got the template here and manipulated it so I could get 3 to one page of cardstock.
We played Horton's Pink Clover Relay Race and Dr. Seuss Bingo. We went on a Cat in the Hat Scavenger Hunt.
The kids took home the following coloring pages: Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss, Horton, and the fish.
I displayed books by and about Dr. Seuss.
