Dr Seuss-A-Thon {Reading & Activities}

 

In the past six months or so we discovered what so many parents, teachers and children before us already knew: Dr. Seuss books! Like a lot of kids, my little guy loves for us to read to him, but I was getting tired of the books we had and went in search of something else. I finally discovered Dr. Seuss! You're all probably thinking, "What rock was she living under?" I guess it was a big one! I feel like I've been missing out. I just didn't get into them when I was little for whatever reason. Now I feel like I have some catching up to do!

At the beginning of the year, I made it a goal to read all of the Dr. Seuss books we possibly could this year. Well, here it is a month into the year, and we're getting started on this little marathon. Would you like to join me? 

Here's the plan: 
Every week we're going to pick out a couple Dr. Seuss books to read and also plan some activities to go along with them. I'll post the book choices and some possible activities the Friday before, so we'll have the weekend to prepare for the following week. Sound like fun? 

I'll be borrowing most of my books from the library, but you can find a lot of them on Amazon too. 

Oh, but how will you know which ones we've read? I've got you covered with this handy dandy checklist:

I've listed all the books we'll be reading which includes almost all the Dr. Seuss books plus a few "bonus" books he wrote under a couple different pen names. 

Ready to get started?

Next week, we'll start with a couple classics: The Cat in the Hat and The Cat in the Hat Comes Back.

Both should be pretty easy to find.

Activity Ideas:

Make The Cat's Hat

Make The Cat out of a paper plate

Pin the Hat on The Cat Game

Cat in the Hat Snacks: here and here are cute ideas

And to give you a head start...

The week after next we'll be reading One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish and Green Eggs and Ham.

Again, both should be pretty easy to find.

I hope you'll join us on our Dr Seuss-A-Thon Adventure!
