Dr. Seuss Yummy Fun with Green Eggs & Ham!

Book:


Movie:
The Original Green Eggs and Ham Animated Television Classic DVD

Green Eggs & Ham Breakfast:
It looks a bit yucky but I promise they are good! :) To whip these up just add a touch of food coloring to your eggs and ham! I even spead a bit on our whipped butter! The girls were hesitant but after they gave it a try they realized it tasted the same as our usual scrambled egg breakfast & ate it up without any problem.

If you would prefer not to use food coloring (I really barely used a drop and it worked enough to add color) you can use green foods like spinach.


Green Eggs & Ham Dessert:
These yummy green eggs are made using lime sherbert and whipped cream! YUMMY!



Activities:
No time for what I wanted to do as we spent the entire day out on saturday but here are some ideas I compiled from around the web that I had wanted to try:

Sam I Am Coloring page from http://www.earlymoments.com/
Sam I Am coloring sheet from http://www.seussville.com/
Green Eggs & Ham Tic-Tac-Toe also from http://www.seussville.com/
Upper/Lower Case Letter Egg Matching Game from http://www.makinglearningfun.com/
Beginning Sound/Letter Matching Game from http://www.makinglearningfun.com/

I hope you've enjoyed our Seuss Week Activities. Next week we are focusing on B is for Bear as we explore Panda Bears, Polar Bears, Brown Bears and of course Teddy Bears! :) I hope you'll stop by and join us in some of the "Beary" Good Fun!

Dr. Seuss Theme - The Foot Book Activities

Book:


Activities: Foot Measuring

1. I traced each Lil Diva's foot and they measured it's length using unifix cubes, small paper clips and large paper clips.





2. Then they used their foot cut-outs to measure each other & daddy (who was home for the fun, lol!). They really enjoyed this activity!

Dr. Seuss Theme - Fox in Socks

Book:

Activities:
1. Sock Art
I cut out a large sock shape and let the Lil Divas decorate with whatever they liked!

They opted to use markers & sequin jewel stick-ons!



2. Sock Match Game
I made this sock template to create matching socks for the game
I just colored them in different colors, glued them onto construction paper & cut them out into cards



We also had fun rhyming and trying to say some of the tounge twisters in the book really fast - hard indeed!

This is a really fun book to read - it definitely gets your tongue into trouble!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! Celebrating with The Cat in the Hat

In honor of today being Dr. Seuss' birthday we celebrated by reading one of our fave Dr. Seuss books - The Cat in the Hat! No celebration is complete without treats & fun so of course we had some of those too!

Here's what we did today:

2 Books & A Short Movie:


Craft: The Cat's Hat

 

I used a great Cat in the Hat template from A to Z Teacher Stuff as my guide for our hats. I just made ours a little bit bigger/wider when I traced the template onto cardstock (so it was stiff).

Step 1: The girls painted the red stripes

Step 2: While we let the hat dry I fitted the headband piece (I used sentence strip paper) on each Lil Diva

Step 3: Once dry I stapled the hat onto the headband & the girls were able to wear their "Cat" hats!

Learning Fun: Rhyming Fun with _at Words

I used this great Hat _at Words template from A to Z Teacher Stuff for this activity!


First, We used our letter tiles to make words. Then the Lil Divas picked their 5 faves and wrote them onto the hat (see above picture)


This lil diva loves to accessorize!
Check out her bling! :)

Snack: Edible"Cat" Hat


We used:
Nilla Wafers
Marshmallows (I had big ones at home so I cut them in half)
Red Gummy Life Savers
Vanilla Frosting (just a dab to help hold it together)


How did you celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday? We LOVE new ideas!
