Dr Seuss CraftsFollow up your reading by trying a Dr Seuss craft or two. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Make your own simple hat First make a headband to fit round head. Then draw a hat outline on a piece of cardboard - we used the illustrations in The Cat In The Hat for inspiration. Cut out and decorate – color, paint, cut and glue, basically whatever appeals. Then when finished decorating (and after drying if necessary) attach to the front of the headband (we found this easiest to staple). Be a star-bellied Sneetch!We had great fun making badges so we could pretend to be star-bellied Sneetches. Just cut a star design into half a large potato, then dip in green paint and stamp on to cardboard. When dry, cut out and attach to fastening such as a safety pin. You could also make Sneetch T-shirts by using the same idea but instead stamping green fabric paint onto a plain T-shirt.
Make your own turtles This is a really fun craft, very easy to get a good result. All you need is two paper plates, or a paper dish and plate, cardboard, stapler, and blue crayons/felt tips/paints. Draw a simple head, tail and 4 legs on the cardboard and cut out. Next turn one of the paper plates upside down and decorate the outside as the shell using blue crayons, felt tips or paints - you may want it plain blue like Yertle himself, or with patterns like some of the other turtles. When dry just place the decorated plate/dish on top of the other plate, place the head, tail and legs as appropriate around the plates, then use a stapler to fasten it all together. You could make lots of these to make a tower for Yertle as in the story, though whether you’d manage 200…!
Try this One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish Make a simple rod by attaching a small magnet to a piece of string and fastening to a pole (try a ruler, chop stick, bamboo cane!). Now you need some fish – either use a simple fish template (try one of the coloring pages here: http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/fish_coloring_pages.htm) or draw your own inspired by the fish from the Dr. Seuss book. We colored ours with either red or blue crayons. Then attach a paper clip to the fish and go fishing! You could have a contest to see who could collect the most of a particular color, or, if you only colored one side then turn the fish so that side is downwards to make it more difficult.
